The UK Internet Service Providers Association (
ISPA) has finally revealed the winners of its 2004 awards. Sadly there were no real surprises among the winners, except the award for '
Best Small Business ISP', which went to Fastnet:
Best Metered ISP - Tiscali
Best Unmetered Dial-up ISP - Blueyonder from Telewest Broadband
Best Small Business ISP - Fastnet
Best Business Broadband ISP - Easynet
Best Consumer Broadband - Bulldog Communications
Best National Business ISP - Easynet
Best National Consumer ISP - FreeserveIt may also be worth noting that LINX won '
Best Internet Exchange', while the '
Internet Hero' award went to Steve Linford and Spamhaus for educating people about spam and helping to prevent it.
So what of 2004's '
Internet Villain'? Well it turned out to be Verisign, the group responsible for that "
domain name system hijacking scandal".
