The latest Which?<\/a> magazine study of broadband quality, value, performance and general customer satisfaction has awarded its Recommended Provider<\/strong> status to six UK ISPs including Zen Internet<\/a>, Utility Warehouse, Eclipse Internet, PlusNet<\/a>, BE Broadband and O2<\/a>. Sadly other ISPs didn’t do so well.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Members of Which? were asked to score fifteen of the markets best known broadband ISPs based on several criteria – Customer service, Ease of setup, Connection speed, Connection reliability, Value for money, Calling technical support and Overall technical support. Zen Internet<\/a> came top with an overall customer satisfaction score of 84%.<\/p>\n

Which Recommended Providers<\/strong>
\n(84%) – Zen Internet<\/a> [RECOMMENDED]
\n(80%) – Utility Warehouse [RECOMMENDED]
\n(76%) – Eclipse Internet [RECOMMENDED]
\n(73%) – PlusNet<\/a> [RECOMMENDED]
\n(72%) – BE Broadband [RECOMMENDED]
\n(71%) – O2<\/a> [RECOMMENDED]<\/p>\n

(61%) – Post Office
\n(54%) – Madasafish
\n(52%) – Demon Internet
\n(51%) – Virgin Media<\/a>
\n(51%) – Sky Broadband<\/a>
\n(46%) – BT<\/a>
\n(40%) – TalkTalk<\/a>
\n(37%) – Orange UK
\n(28%) – AOL<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s worth looking back and comparing these results with the same study conducted last year (here<\/a>), which reveals that BE’s recent network problems have caused it to fall from 81% to 72% now. Both Sky Broadband<\/a> and Virgin Media<\/a> have also lost around 4-5% points. Meanwhile most of the other ISPs have only seen a minor change of +\/- 1 or 2%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
