It's not the benchmark that's unethical. The unethical part is leaving up the original claim without adding a correction or a note that addresses the problems Fastly found with the benchmark.
But it still compares both free tiers as he mentioned. It seems dubious that you demand to compare Fastly's paying tier with Cloudflare's free one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cloudflare's free tier does not optimize for speed/performance, but for available ( = unused ) datacenter capacity based on location. Which makes it less fast than their paying tier.
Additionally, there will be an update soon as mentioned before, based on past comments.
There are other things that you ignore/are unaware of that are not even mentioned in Fastly's post. Eg. That cloudflare also optimizes their network for routing to denser cities instead of rural areas. That metric is not even mentioned by Fastly...
Note: i don't know any inner workings of them as I don't work there. It's based on what I remember from their blog about their SDN and performance weeks. I suppose it's applicable to this scenario, if i got the details right.
