Broadband Provider Winners of the UK Fibre Awards 2026 Unveiled
The fifth annual 2026 UK Fibre Awards event took place last night at the London Marriott Grosvenor Square Hotel, which saw a number of broadband ISPs and full fibre network builders across multiple categories pick up awards for their achievements. Some of the winners included Quickline for ‘Best Rural Fibre Provider’ and Squirrel Internet for ‘Best ISP‘, among others.
The event, which is similar to many existing industry award ceremonies (e.g. the ISPAs and Connected Britain), is currently being backed by telecoms / ICT centric media and event organisation firm BPL Group (including BPL Business Media, Comms Dealer, IT Europa Media & Intelligence and Fibre Provider).
The winners for each category are typically chosen by a judging panel of eight industry and IT experts (here), including various senior managers, analysts and so forth. But there’s not much to reflect the consumer perspective in this group, and no technical testing is performed.
