The nominees for the annually Top 10 Broadband Awards, being held for the second time now, have been unveiled with 3, Virgin Media and O2 leading the nominations with 4 a piece.
The Top 10 Broadband Awards are based on ratings of more than 1.5 million customers as well as speed tests carried out during the last year by Top 10 Broadband, the most popular independent site for comparison of broadband prices, thereby making it the most valued customer awards in the industry.

The panel which made the nominations observed the detailed speed test as well as the customer rating data, nearly thousands of customer reviews left on the website and put all the packages of broadband providers to the most strict quantitative and qualitative test in order to come up with the nominations.
O2, 3 and Virgin Media are in the front in nominations and have been short – listed in 4 main categories. O2, TalkTalk, T-Mobile, BT and Vodafone have 3 nominations each.
Customers have continued to make their views count in the awards by rating their broadband providers as well as the speed that they get.
The director of Top 10 Broadband, Alex Buttle, said that the Digital Britain report preceded the rolling out of extremely fast home broadband as well as an increase in the number of customers seeking mobile broadband dongles as well as other related devices.
