The UK Internet Service Providers Association (ISPA<\/a>) has today kicked off their annual hunt for the best broadband ISPs and internet companies ahead of their forthcoming 2026 awards event (the 28th one they\u2019ve held), although this time around they don’t appear to have made too many changes to the categories.<\/p>\n

The winners of the previous 2025 awards event were unveiled back in November last year (here<\/a>), which among other things saw several alternative internet providers – including CommunityFibre<\/a>, Lightning Fibre<\/a>, and Wightfibre<\/a> – taking home multiple awards. The former CEO of CityFibre<\/a>, Greg Mesch, was also named as 2025’s Internet Hero for fostering one of the country’s largest alternative full fibre networks.<\/p>\n

As usual, the ISP categories will undergo several months of \u201ctechnical testing<\/em>\u201d, while a good-sized panel of 13 judges<\/a> will once again help to select some of the winners. The full list of categories now open for entry can be seen below. Internet providers, network operators, technology partners, and industry stakeholders can apply to take part in the event here<\/strong><\/a> (registration is open until 17th April 2026 and written entries have until 26th June 2026).<\/p>\n

The exception is the Internet Hero award, which will open for nominations later in the year.<\/p>\n

2026 ISPAs Award Categories (16 in Total)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
