Most coveted?
Previous winners including the stellar Bulldog, that same company that spent several months under Ofcom investigation for customer service, installation and billing issues.
The competition being the most complained about major ISP in the UK for years, Tiscali, and the far from stellar Orange, who still managed to win it the previous two years under their previous guise, Wanadoo.
It's a nice advertising point but I wouldn't wipe my **** on that award and you'll forgive me for not considering it so coveted.
