The third annual UK Fibre Awards event was held yesterday in London, which saw a number of broadband ISPs and full fibre network builders across several categories pick up awards for their achievements. Some of this year’s winners included Wildanet for ‘Best Rural Fibre Provider’ and Brsk for ‘Best Urban Fibre Provider’.
The event, which is arguably very similar to existing industry award ceremonies (e.g. from the ISPA and Connected Britain), is typically backed by telecoms / ICT centric media and event organisation firm BPL Business Media.
The winners for each category were then chosen by a judging panel of several industry and IT experts (here), including various senior managers, analysts and so forth. Sadly, there’s not much to reflect the consumer perspective in this group, and no technical testing was performed.

Never heard about most of them so I am very curious if the only criteria wasn’t who ordered more equipment/services from sponsors in each category.
Congratulations to those who took away an award or commendation (everyone basically)
What were the table prices “to attend” the event?
lol
I would place Squirrel Internet firmly above all of those based on my experience. Although I’ve never used the services of these other companies.
Meaningless.
Just another sham award ceremony.
… and let’s hear now from our “Best ISP Review commentator”, for 2024 it’s, “Just a Thought”. Just A, would you like to say a few words?
“Thank you, thank you, I’d like to dedicate this award to myself, after all I did pay to be considered for nomination. It’s an honour”
… Well there we have, Just A, the commenter of the year 2024. Now our next category “Whinger extraordinaire” ……
