I gave my opinion in my original post saying I had no problem with my service but VM needed to improve on a range of issues before they could be considered the best ISP. U/L speed being one of them.

Couldn't agree with you more. Any improvement VM can make to their U/L speeds will place them at the top of the tree as it were.
You're right though, that report can be taken in a number of ways. If you look at the count for Be against VM in terms of speed for Jan 2010, one of the things I noticed is that whilst Be scored 75% against VM's 59%, Be's sample was based on 502 ratings, however VM's was based on 3092 ratings. Had the sample size been near equal we may have had a better comparison overall.
As you say though, our own opinions of the service we get is more important than raw data.
