The third annual UK Fibre Awards event was held yesterday in London, which saw a number of broadband ISPs and full fibre network builders across several categories pick up awards for their achievements. Some of this year’s winners included Wildanet for ‘Best Rural Fibre Provider’ and Brsk for ‘Best Urban Fibre Provider’.
The event, which is arguably very similar to existing industry award ceremonies (e.g. from the ISPA and Connected Britain), is typically backed by telecoms / ICT centric media and event organisation firm BPL Business Media.
The winners for each category were then chosen by a judging panel of several industry and IT experts (here), including various senior managers, analysts and so forth. Sadly, there’s not much to reflect the consumer perspective in this group, and no technical testing was performed.
