Virgin broadband January offer - applying

I'm just wondering if anyone has applied for this yet? When I follow the link, I get taken to the "please enter your postcode" page, followed by my address details and then they say they'll call me back within 5 days. This is the exact same as if I go through the website normally.

Does the fact that I've followed the MSE link flag up to them so they know I qualify for the offer as there's nothing on any of the pages I navigated which mention it?

Currently moving into a new place with no broadband. I've started the ball rolling with Vodafone but already unimpressed and can cancel any time up to 2 days before installation without penalty. Worth it to use Virgin at this prive (even though it jumps up ridiculously after 12 months...)

    If the house does not have. Virgin cable installed already you are likely to get that message.
    It could take 2 months to install

    It's Virgin Fibre, not Cable.

    Whatever.

    The house still requires a thick coax cable (usually white inside the house)

    You won’t get that service down the BT OR cable that all other providers use

    Belgium. Well, see what the rep says when they call. If it's too long, then I'll leave it. It's a block of flats so I guess what the neighbours have installed will have some bearing on things.
