Friday, 22nd February: Virgin Media was crowned the winner in three categories at the annual Switcher.ie Broadband Awards last night in the Marker Hotel in Dublin.

 

The annual event, now in its sixth year, recognises excellence in the broadband industry.  The awards were judged using a mix of in-depth consumer surveys, independent speed tests, customer ratings, and an expert judging panel.

 

Eoin Clarke, Managing Director of Switcher.ie, said: “These awards are about recognising the stand-out giants across the telecoms market.  It’s a very competitive industry and consumers are the ones in the driving seat to determine the true winners.” 

“I want to give a huge call out and congratulations to all the team at Virgin Media for winning three awards. Our research results and independent experts both agreed on how Virgin Media’s relentless focus on offering the best broadband experience to their customers is really resonating with them.” 

 

Brendan Moran, Director of Sales at Virgin Media, said: “The strength of Virgin Media’s products and offerings shone through on the night, allowing us to take home the Fastest Home Broadband award, the Best Customer Rated Home Broadband award, while also coming out on top in the Best Customer Benefits category.  It is fantastic to be recognised by our peers, customers, industry leaders and the team at Switcher.ie.”
