New ISP, with some familiar names in this. A few winners from last year are
back to defend their titles, with BE Broadband looking to hold their title as
Best Consumer Broadband ISP, and Fluidata as Best Fixed Broadband ISP. The full

No talk talk, doesn’t suprise me they would only get voted to be shut down.
Good luck BE 😉
Good job i didn’t have any coffee, i would have spat it all over my monitor when i read that
It was tongue in cheek really, I like BE but they will need a lot of luck with their recent well publicised issues
If BE wins this time then it’s obviously rigged.
Been with them for over 5 years and they were great up until Feb 2012.
They won last year, but didn’t deserve it them, no doubt will win again this year too, but not on merit, How van something be fair when one of the isp’s or it’s owner is a sponsor ?ISPA’s mean very little in the real world
How on earth did Virgin Media win an award? If that was an award for being god-awful and utterly useless, then maybe they would win, but best consumer broadband? Whatever people are smoking, I want some.

The only list you should bother with.
I agree and find the whole site more believable than most.
Nice to KC in the nominations.
@post1, creakycopperline,
talk talk are there, for:
Internet Safety and Security.
but no BT anywhere…
Shame about the local congestion issues in certain areas with Virgin Media. I can’t even get 3MBPS on my “up to” 60MBPS connection at peak times – more like “up to” 60% packet loss. 100Meg wouldn’t be an option for me even though they claim to be able to deliver it in my area.
ggremlin, Secure because your connection is always down.
no sky..? why am I not surprised, having gone 6 weeks now with my broadband problem still not resolved, running 8Mbps slower than previously…
