The testing of the broadband, hosting and VoIP categories by thinkbroadband and Malden Electronics saw over two million tests carried out to evaluate entrants to produce the shortlists in the technical categories with the judging panel sifting through all the other entries to arrive at the short list of fifty companies.
The awards ceremony will take place in London on July 7th, after the panel of industry experts have dissected all the entries and met to determine the eventual winner in each category.
