The Best of British Broadband Awards are the first set of awards, nominated and voted for by the public to reward the broadband heroes in homes across the UK.

This non-professional work is often inspiring, but usually not rewarded. It could be a local football club web site, a site for music fans, sites for the people who live in a town, school or college. There are many charities and education facilities being supported by great home made sites. These are all highly valued by their users.

And it's time they were rewarded! We want to recognise the work of those broadband heroes at home who create sites for others to enjoy. This is why ntl, Britain's leading provider of Broadband Internet access services, launched The Best of British Broadband Awards. (Extract from NTL Competition launch)
