PlusNet twice honoured in national Internet awards

PlusNet is delighted to announce that it has won not one, but two major categories in this year's influential Future UK Internet Awards. Crowned 'Best Consumer ISP' for its popular range of great value products and services, PlusNet has also been honoured with the 'Customer Service Award' - voted number one both by the public and a panel of magazine and industry experts alike.

The Customer Service Award, sponsored by Internet and Broadband Advisor magazine, has been awarded to the Internet business that has demonstrated the best customer service throughout the year. PlusNet beat off several highly respected names to this prestigious trophy from all areas of electronic commerce.

Dan McNamara, Editor of Internet & Broadband Advisor said: "In 2004, PlusNet has led a price revolution in the consumer market, and most importantly has continued to deliver in the key areas of reliability, speed and customer service. In our experience their customers are a happy bunch, and the votes speak for themselves, making PlusNet a deserving winner."

Marco Potesta, Marketing Director at PlusNet said: "We're delighted to have been awarded two Future UK Internet awards this year. It's a great honour that recognises the continued success of PlusNet and particularly places emphasis on the dedication and efforts of our employees. Our sincere thanks go to them, and to our customers for voting for us."

2004 has been a remarkable year for PlusNet. Having launched 512k broadband from just £14.99 per month earlier in the year, with free transfer for new customers moving to PlusNet from another broadband provider, it successfully floated on AIM in July.

The last few months have seen continued innovation, with increased broadband availability across the UK and more low-prices from PlusNet, with 1Mb broadband now starting from only £14.99 and 2Mb products from only £19.99 per month.
