ISPA UK Starts Hunting for the 2017 Best Broadband ISPs

Tuesday, Dec 6th, 2016 (12:07 pm) - Score 860

The United Kingdom’s Internet Service Providers Association (ISPA) has today started the hunt for next year’s ISP industry award finalists, which covers plenty of familiar categories (e.g. Best Superfast Broadband) and some new ones (e.g. Best Rural Broadband).

Readers might recall that the winners of the ISPA’s 18th annual 2016 Internet industry awards were announced in July (here), which among other things saw London fixed wireless ISP Relish Wireless secure the winning spot for ‘Best Consumer Broadband‘ and Hyperoptic take home the ‘Best Superfast Broadband‘ award.

As usual entry into next year’s event remains free and the deadline to register is 27th January 2017, while the written entry forms need to be completed by 31st March 2017. The new categories for 2017 include: Best Rural Broadband Award (i.e. recognising the work so many alternative networks are doing in hard-to-reach areas), Best Wholesale ISP and Executive of the Year.

The entrants will be scrutinised by a “panel of industry experts“, while broadband ISPs, website hosts and VoIP providers must also undergo “rigorous technical testing” in order to help identify a short-list of potential winners (conducted between 6th February and 31st March).

James Blessing, Chair of the ISPA, said:

“As ISPs continue to invest in networks and deliver great Internet services, I am pleased to launch the 2017 ISPAs. These awards celebrate the true breadth and diversity of the UK Internet industry, which plays a vital role for the UK economy and society. With technical testing and expert judges, these are the most independent awards in the sector and I look forward to seeing a record number of entries.”

The results will then be announced on 13th July 2017 at Café de Paris in London’s West End.
