UK ISP Plusnet Comes Top in Cable’s New Broadband Awards 2015

Comparison site Cable.co.uk has announced the winners of their inaugural Broadband Awards 2015, which saw Plusnet grab more wins across different categories than any other ISP. But there were also some wins in different areas for Virgin Media, Sky Broadband, Zen Internet and a few other providers.

Most of the awards were chosen by Cable.co.uk itself, although to balance that out they also included a number of awards that were chosen via a survey of 6,000 broadband consumers in the United Kingdom and this is where most of Plusnet’s wins were secured. It’s worth pointing out that TalkTalk was ranked bottom for almost all of the reader choice awards.

Sadly we don’t get a clear statistical breakdown of the results or much context on how some of the awards were chosen, but here’s a brief summary of the primary results.
