As I have said, and said elsewhere they are only accurate for the areas tested. The figures they give do not and will not show a true representation of the whole of the UK coverage, unless they actually start to test every single area that VM supplies to until then its not a 100% true representation.

Since you are making the claim that I am wrong and say Ofcom's findings are the true state of things, then you have to prove to me that it is indeed that.

And months ago we had this discussion, and we are back to the very same point, and i'll roughly repeat what I said before iirc.

The service is excellent? What about the people in student areas with oversubscription? (I know this was mentioned elsewhere here in another thread but there was plenty of threads etc about it on the official forums).

What about the people who wait months for a simple repair to happen so they can get a decent expected service?

What about the people who are now having lag issues in many online games and through services provided by consoles?

What about people with poor performances and getting a small percentage of bandwith they were promised to get "up to" 24/7?

I could go on listing the other examples...

But funny thing is, I said these months ago on the official forums, but yet they can still be used today. That is bad. So from the evidence provided by customers on the forum which there was a huge amount of. And from replies from the VM moderating team and some staff (some staff who were badly mannered imho), it can be cleary seen that Ofcom's findings do NOT show the true picture of what is going on.

So the onus is on you Carl to prove to me with proof from Ofcom that what they shown in that report is the true picture and for them to say how much in percentage of areas they covered that VM supplies to. If its below 50% then I won't accept it as true data.

And Carl, don't bold key words.. its very pedantic.
