CloudFlare ran a benchmark on both services and published their results. The contention is that the benchmark did not represent fastly performance fairly, so fastly reran the benchmark in what they consider to be a fair way, on their service only. They did not retest CloudFlare in their benchmark. The results in the post compare CloudFlare's results for CloudFlare and fastly's results for fastly

Yeah, ok that must be the distinction.

However, I see that the TOS says you may not "perform or publish" benchmarks. Seems this still violates the "or publish" part, even if Fastly avoided doing the performing. What would be the point of forbidding publishing if it is already forbidden to perform said benchmarks in the first place? The TOS seems to also forbid publishing on the benchmark even when someone else performs the Fastly part of the benchmark.

Edit: It must be the TOS doesn't apply if you don't use the service.

Fortunately, no one needed to agree to the CloudFlare ToS to read their blog post.

Haha. Actually, now that I think about it, I guess the TOS doesn't apply if you don't use the service!
