The MD of Choose.co.uk, Lyndsey Burton, said: The Choose Broadband Awards 2022 showcase the amazing work going on behind the scenes as well as highlighting the best providers and packages on the market right now.”

She also said they wanted to find out what makes broadband providers different from one another.

“We wanted to explore what makes broadband providers different from one another and show how much of an impact they can have on the communities they serve as well as their customers. It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that all broadband companies are the same, but our awards demonstrate that there are plenty of options out there for customers to choose from, and they all offer different things.”

Burton further said: “Whether households are on a strict budget or are looking for the fastest or most ethical broadband provider available, the Choose Broadband Awards 2022 show there is something for everyone.”
