There has been a degree of trolling from both sides.

As for ill informed, there is a point but it has got buried in a range of issues.

Accuracy of price comparison has been on DCMS/Ofcom radar for some time, but gone on back burner for various reasons in 2019 it seems. What the outcome will be is impossible to say but not hopeful of anything that is positive towards what I am doing.

Your response highlights exactly why people think you are trolling. If you did not respond like this then people might consider things differently.

What other forum moderator?

You are very much visibly on the offensive against other posters now.

If people want to debate then debate is fine, but that also means people may not neccesarily agree with everything you post, or may ask things like why?

That does not mean they are attacking you, but simply debating.

The issue around comparison sites and accuracy of checkers has been circulated around DCMS/Ofcom so while nothing much is visible there may be changes, but not in the short term. Though it is not clear what Ofcom/DCMS will actually impose on the industry as some of the proposals are such that only the largest 3 or 4 sites would be able to survive under what has been proposed in the post.

For our part we do the best that we can and believe am well ahead of the curve in terms of helping people find the best service in their particular location.

The broadband API that we use and coverage info on sites like https://labs.thinkbroadband.com/local/postcode-search is available under commercial terms, we'd love to do lots of things for free but there are salaries and costs involved in running this sort of thing.

The thread did cover a whole wide range of things, but they were ultimately distractions to what should have been the single issue.
