The UK Internet Services Providers Association (ISPA) has revealed all of the finalists for its 2007 Internet industry awards. Typically we will only list the ISP ones below, but be prepared for the odd SHOCK!:


No doubt many will be quite surprised to see Biscit nominated under the "Best Consumer ISP" category (Tiscali too), not to mention "Best Dial-up". We're tempted to ask ISPA whether this is some kind of joke, having seemingly ignored the vast amount of problems over the past few months with service and support; admittedly mostly broadband related.

Still, the ISPA awards are no stranger to controversy, although in the eyes of many this will be a step beyond the ridiculous. It’s not the first time a shaky provider has been included during a problematic year (Bulldog etc.), although in this instance some are still feeling the impact of the NetServices/Biscit dispute.
