Of course I recognise this is supposed to be humorous but at the same time it is classic disinformation and an attempt to undermine the giffgaff business and that has been apparent for a long time on this board.
Whilst comedy is always welcome the deliberate misrepresentation of network speed results using doctored images makes one question what the agenda is with some.
I did laugh for a moment but when I thought about the effort to post such disinformation my amusement turned to suspicion re the motive. I keep certain individuals on 'ignore' due to constant stalking and torment ( they will post directly after this as they always do, it's a very regular series of expected responses by the usual individuals) but I am sure some excuse will be forthcoming and how that explains things will be up to the judgement of those reading it.”

Some real tests were posted with a new 4G goodybag I purchased. I tested it at home, where only GPRS was available and got 0.00 down with a massive ping, despite 5 bars of signal. I then later tested it in a different town all together on 5 full bars of H+ and got 0.38Mb/s down with a 309ms ping. I'll be testing in a 4G area next weekend, no matter the result 50Meg down I have said the tests will be posted.
People were joking that you would be along to go crazy when you see those results, so I posted a joke screenshot that was obviously mocked up in paint in 2 minutes.
I can't help it if the real testing I did has upset you. However if the obviously mocked up screenshot with a great big drawn on red arrow in Microsoft Paint upset you, then please accept my apologies.
