Top 10 Broadband lists most of the most popular UK ISPs for you to compare their broadband products. We use the term “ISP” frequently on the site in our guides, comparison pages and brand descriptions.
The UK’s biggest ISP is currently BT (Jan 2008) with Virgin Media following closely behind them. Other major ISPs include Tiscali, AOL and Orange who, along with the other big two, make up a large bulk of the broadband UK userbase.
Smaller ISPs include Plusnet and Madasafish. The smaller providers can often provide a good if not better service than the main broadband companies.
