If it is the same as the claim for gas and electricity - and this is the gas and electricity forum - it is absolutely meaningless.

That was a reader survey; 16,600 UW reps and their friends and family all with a very strong vested interest in giving UW a good score.

It was no co-incidence that the number of participants voting for UW was several times more than their market share.

They even came top for price, when even their most ardent salesman will concede that they are one of the most expensive products on the market.

Why did it come as no surprise to me having read some of your other pontifications about the Which Survey, you would not like the idea they were given this award.:D

With respect you really do appear to have a serious bee in your bonnet about this company.

I see no reason why their Telephone product cant be discussed in this thread bearing in mind you get FREE calls if you take more then one product from them.

Cardew is totally obsessed with UW for some unexplained reason. His main criticism would appear to be price competitiveness...strange coming from someone who is paying absolute top dollar for his BT broadband/line rental package (approx £12 per month more than the equivalent UW package which also incidentally doesn't have an 18 month min. contract). Almost £150 per year! He just doesn't 'get' irony, I'm afraid...

Are you a UW representative?

My only interest is to counter some of the misleading rubbish posted by UW reps; what other reason would any of us have?

I almost broke my resolve and removed The Troll from my ignore list to see if he has joined the massed ranks of UW reps - it won't be long I suspect!

If you don't like what I, and other UW detractors, post why not put us on your ignore list?

Or

Instead of constantly squealing about our posts, why not explain to people where Quentin(mainly) and the rest of us are incorrect in our posts?

Armed with facts, people can make up their mind if they wish to join your 'club'!

Happy New Year

As Cardew is still pretending to ignore me, lol, someone ask him what he thinks of the cashback card - he doesn't seem too keen on having a go on this one, can't think why, lol. BTW, be very careful taking financial advice from him. This is the man who has US property and loads of long-held UK bank shares! 'Prefers bricks and mortar', apparently. Ouch...

Of course there is no proof

Your insistence on making claims without proof makes me think that you are just a bigot.

Unlike you to make personal attacks - your posts are normally better than that!

I have given my reasons for believing that the WHICH survey is a nonsense(and I am a fan of WHICH)

It ill becomes a UW distributor to criticise 'claims without proof';)

Your "reasons" without proof are just mud slinging. To me, it's like kids in the playground calling each other names. I believe that adults should back up what they say with facts and evidence. You are not doing that.

Bigoted:- biased, intolerant, one-sided, partial, prejudiced.

I am perfectly happy to receive criticism that is based on fact. In this instance you are not providing any actual facts or evidence. It looks as though you believe your suspicion makes itself a fact. Until you can quote numbers that are verifiable, I shall continue to believe that you are bigoted if you keep going with your assertion that the WHICH? report was perverted by the actions of UW distributors and/or their families, friends, customers or any other acquaintance. I have already said that I am a UW distributor and have a subscription to WHICH? I did not take part in their research. Please, just show me some evidence to prove your alllegation or move on.

It's ironic that on other threads Cardew frequently accuses posters (obviously those who don't agree with his viewpoint) of presenting arguments that are merely 'ranting and illogical'. LOL.

This thread does make me laugh!
