The 2017 MyBroadband Awards winners were announced at the annual MyBroadband Conference at Gallagher Estate in Midrand today.
The MyBroadband Awards recognise excellence in the South African broadband and telecommunications industry.
There were six awards this year – IT Person of the Year, Best Mobile Broadband Provider, Best Fixed Broadband Provider, Best Internet Service Provider, Best Mobile Network, and Best Fixed Network.
The awards are based on consumer surveys, where broadband subscribers rate their broadband connections, their Internet service providers, and other aspects of the local IT industry.
The Best Mobile Network and Best Fixed Network awards are based on results from MyBroadband’s Speed Test apps and Speed Test platform – combined with the coverage offered by the networks.
The 2017 MyBroadband Awards were sponsored by Three6five, which builds, supports, and improves networks across Africa.
