This is the first hit rather than anything actually definitive but I'm sure it's the case...

Maybe the guy who complained about the magazine ad is trawling the VM website right now....
The website was also reported along with the magazine.

Put simply i have a life
Yes I know, but at the same time there is people using VM who need good latency, mainly gamers. So for some people its more important than the speed.

Personally I dont check all the time either, I check when I notice problems on something I am doing eg. if a file is downloading slowly or ssh feels more laggy than normal. If everything feels ok on normal day to day stuff I dont check my tbb graph etc. I expect its the same for most people, they only check when problems start.
