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

<\/p>\n

Most of the awards were chosen by Cable.co.uk<\/a> 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<\/a>’s wins were secured. It’s worth pointing out that TalkTalk<\/a> was ranked bottom for almost all of the reader choice awards.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
