1It was not idea to cut off the title of the graph. – callculus42 Jan 13 '21 at 20:28

I think it means the two are proportional. – Joshua Wang Jan 13 '21 at 20:29

think that the blue curve represents number of reports of T-Mobile and the green curve the number of reports of Orange networks – callculus42 Jan 13 '21 at 20:40

Looking around the provided site it looks like the blue curve represents the number of reports for Virgin Media outages in the UK, whereas the green curve is the number of reports specific to Bristol. The units on the left are for the blue (country-wide) curve, and the units on the right are for the green (local) curve. For example, consider the excerpted images below. Note that in each case the blue curve matches the graph of total Virgin Media outages, whereas the green curve (and corresponding scale on the right axis) change depending on locality.

@callculus the numbers on the right are the scale for the green curve, so there are not actually more reports, the scales are just different. – DMcMor Jan 13 '21 at 20:43

If you look at different localities the green curves change but the blue stays the same, so I believe it is correct. – DMcMor Jan 13 '21 at 20:46
