I think what he means is... if the ISP posts and says that it is "very
good" and other things like that... basically pretending to be a client of
itself, in a manner of speaking.
That would be "subversive"... sort of like conning people into believing
that tens of people like your service, when in fact it may be the
employees going around posting such messages. I've seen ISPs do it
before... very commonly, in fact. And I think (but I could be wrong) that
is what he means by "subversive".
