Zen Internet scoops broadband accolade

Which? has hailed Zen Internet as the UK's best broadband supplier at its annual awards evening.

The Rochdale-based internet service provider (ISP) topped a poll of the consumer magazine's members after receiving full marks for its connection speed, reliability of connection and customer support services.

Zen's managing director Richard Tang said: "We are delighted to have won this prestigious award as Which? is the largest consumer body in the UK and is relied upon by many consumers for its truly independent product recommendations.

"Zen Internet's mission is to provide the best ISP service in the UK and this award demonstrates our commitment to delivering excellent service, quality and reliability to our customers."

The firm, which has also been awarded the Which? Best Buy for the last three years, beat off competition from rival ISPs Waitrose and Utility Warehouse.

The Which? Annual Awards ceremony was held at London's British Museum and featured a keynote speech from Shadow Chancellor George Osborne MP.
