Maybe not. But that's what he is trying to imply.

So 25% of the UK is randomly tested and these figures produced. Of course some areas are going to be worse, but of course some are also going to be better.

Dh's main contention is that these figures are not accurate. Well that's just tough. OFCOM accepts they're accurate. As does the industry; what with OFCOM being their regulator and all. Dh is simply un-happy that they show VM is actually better than he would like everyone to think they are.

There is a separate, straw-poll on this very forum, somewhere, where the vast majority of VM users are getting exactly the speed they are paying for. Okay, it's not statistically accurate but it is another poll suggesting that VM are actually doing okay.

None of this is, of course, anything to do with the original point of the thread. Which is that VM were not specifically attacking Sky or any other singular ISP. Yes, of course it was merely a campaign to show that VM users are more likely to get the headline speed they're paying for. A fact which is shown by the OFCOM report.
