Press Release Summary: Top 10 Broadband the UK's leading broadband comparison site
has today announced the results of its inaugural annual broadband awards. Winners
include O2 as the fastest broadband provider, BT as the winner in the wireless
broadband category and '3\' as best mobile broadband provider.

Press Release Body: London, UK, August 20, 2008 -- The Top 10 Broadband team closely
analysed data captured in over 310,000 speed tests carried out on the Top 10
Broadband (top10-broadband.co.uk) site as part of the judging process and broadband
packages were rigorously tested against a wide range of criteria to secure victory
in award categories such as fastest broadband, customer satisfaction and broadband
bundle. The awards therefore offer recognition to broadband providers that have
achieved excellence in their field.

O2 won the Fastest Broadband and Customer Satisfaction awards, with an average
download speed of 6.128Mb and customer rating of 3.84 out of 5 making it attractive
to the number of UK consumers who want to download songs and movies, stream live
video and play games online without the connection dropping in and out or the
download taking a long time.

UK broadband customers increasingly seek the flexibility to connect to the internet
from their laptops both wirelessly at home and via mobile broadband when on the
move. The Wireless Broadband award went to BT as their wireless router, the BT
HomeHub 2.0, doubles the wireless reach of most routers and facilitates digital TV.

'3' were the clear winner in the mobile broadband category, with their expansive
range of packages offering a variety of download allowance and laptop options. With
mobile broadband sales increasing by 50% month-on-month this is the fastest-moving
and most progressive sector of the broadband market.

"The winners of the Top 10 Broadband awards have distinguished themselves in the UK
broadband market by offering first-class packages tailored to niche areas of the
market." Says Jessica McArdle from Top 10 Broadband.

Customer reviews and specific package offerings including price, download allowance,
contract length and speed of over 120 broadband packages were also judged by the Top
10 Broadband team.

"The Top 10 Broadband awards amount to a comprehensive guide to the best broadband
packages on the market allowing the public to make informed buying decisions," says
McArdle.
