Naturally Biscit has issued a new press release, expressing their obvious delight at being included as finalists in several of yesterday's
ISPA award categories. Meanwhile former and some existing customers are still expressing their disbelief:
Biscit, the business and consumer communications services provider, has today been advised by the highly-respected Internet Services Providers Association (
ISPA) that it has been nominated as a finalist for four of
ISPA's 2007 awards.
For the first time, Biscit has been nominated for the Best Consumer ISP, Best Business Email and Best Consumer Email Awards. The 4th Award is a repeat of 2006 when Biscit was nominated and then won
ISPA's Best Dial-Up Award.
"
Clearly, we're honoured by this recognition from our peers in the Internet industry," comments Hugh Paterson, Biscit's CEO. "
We look forward to developing our recent V21 acquisition into an equally customer-centric business as Biscit in 2007."
The news brought nothing short of surprise and shock among many ISP related discussion forums yesterday, highlighting once again the weakness of testing providers by specific periods of network performance alone.
Typically last years problems were not completely Biscits fault, yet consumers will only ever consider the service provided and not whom the ISP chooses to blame. There are signs of a recovery in Biscit (
V21) and we can only hope that improves, although many still express their desire to leave when the new migration rules come into effect.
ISPAs positive spin may at least give them a chance for recovery, though others will never forget the problems experienced.
