Typically not: Virgin Media have their own network and (in most cases) don't use Openreach data cabling.

Yes, I did it. Everything came...the only problem is the socket to fix that Master Microfilter,  it's missing? I have just openreach but I can't fix it in

If there's a missing or damaged faceplate then you'll need to report that to Sky.

 

If you have an unfiltered master faceplate then you may require a plug-in microfilter which ISPs don't supply any more.

If there's no Openreach socket at all then you need to report that to Sky: unfortunately it may have been removed when Virgin came in, but there's still a record of it at the address.
