I smell a rat regarding Ovivo and MSE mentioning it

The timing of Martin Lewis suddenly promoting Ovivo everywhere when they were about to go bust, is very suspicious.
Ovivo have been providing a brilliant value service for TWO YEARS and people on this forum have been very happy with them and talked about them a lot so why didn't Martin Lewis ever mention them in the last 2 years?
This stinks of a last minute cash grab.

If people are out of pocket there may be an opportunity to learn exactly what happened and how MSE came to plug it just before it closed down.
Doubtful though, just be on the look for the next too good to be true deal and say no.

It doesn't stink of anything.
The fact that there is a possibility that two things are connected doesn't = they are connected.
A coincidence is a ...coincidence or else it wouldn't be called coincidence.
Now if you want to go and find some evidence to support your hypothesis go get it and publish it otherwise you are just hurling insults and accusations.0 -

So answer the question in my OP:
Why has Martin Lewis completely ignored Ovivo for the first 2 years of it's existence?0 -

Why dont you:
1) Ask him
2) Send a "LBA"
3) Small Claims Court
If not, why keep spouting BS.0 -

You seem confused, pal.
I am not claiming to have been disadvantaged myself by this in any way.
I bought my sim 8 months ago and have more than got my money's worth.
I simply posted my opinion on an internet forum, which is what I thought this forum is for.
Do you not find it a trifle odd that Mr Lewis ignored this incredible value mobile deal for a full 2 years and then suddenly told everyone about it just before it went under?0 -

You have been vociferously defending MSE from any criticism throughout this. It is clear there is a fanboy agenda here.
All I can do is thank you for bumping my thread. It helps.0
