Well yes. Sorry. Of course. But what I meant was it will also run it's own tests when you're not using the connection yourself.

Actually, I'm sorry but there certainly is a VM-specific SamKnows testing panel.

Where do the speed stats come from?
The data comes from a broadband measurement panel made up of real Virgin Media customers spread out across our network. Powered by Samknows, the broadband performance monitoring specialists, we run millions of tests a month to understand how our broadband is performing.
