I highly doubt that those 700 people would have made a great deal of difference to the final result.

Rhydian lost out, get over it. There are far more important things going on in the world to be complaining to OFCOM about a phone vote just because a some people couldn't get through.
But the point is, 1,500 people actually bothered to phone in and complain. Those are the people who perhaps would have phoned 4 or 5 times. Thats 7,500 votes, at least. And those are just the die hard fans. Say a few thosand couldn't get through, but aren't bothered enough to ring up- It would add up very easily. For all we know, 1 million people could have got engaged tones, they just wont all ring in, will they? So it may only be the 1,500 that complained, but a doubt it very much.
ok give this a thought, if thats how many people couldnt get through to vote for rhydian and he came second. imagine how many people got the engaged tone while trying to vote for leon and because he won we arent exactly going to hear anyone complaining that they couldnt get through as they really arent caring now since leon has won.

This is suppposed to be a bit of fun for the viewers on a saturday night, if everyone continues to carry on like this it wont come back
Of course they haven't complained. Which is why OFCOM are conducting an investigation into what happened- To see how it affected the voters for all 3 finalists, not just Rhydian. After all, Leon may have won by more, for all we know.

As Trinity said, it probably is sore losers. But if people are having problems phoning in, then OFCOM need to investigate why that was. Because it could happen on other TV shows, for all they know.
