Best Rural ISP
Entrants must be an ISP that is providing broadband to rural / hard to reach areas. The category is technology neutral. While speeds are an important part of the testing, it also takes account of overall service levels, packages, availability, performance, customer service, community engagement and more. Thinkbroadband testing data will be used to determine the shortlist for the category. The data will also inform the judging which will also take account of publicly available data from other sources such as Ofcom and trustpilot where possible.

Notes on testing
Providers will be expected to ensure that thinkbroadband is able to identify their customers, e.g. provide details of IPv4 and IPv6 blocks that customers use and when a provider claims to have IPv6 support we do expect to see customers connecting via IPv6.
The tester used is embedded on this page https://st.thinkbroadband.com/
Results are also included from the full range of testers that thinkbroadband supplies to third parties too.
