The campaign was about honest advertising of speeds and largely a waste of time and a pure PR effort by VM as most suppliers follow Ofcom's code of conduct and give an estimated speed at time of order.
Advertising 20Mb ADSL then advising at the point of sale are two different things though, A customer would have already made up their mind by the time they are told what speed they should expect. And the vast majority of customers dont care/dont understand what it all means anyway.
