Right, I don't agree but apparently they won at the digital media awards. There is something about it on upc.ie

Customer support and service are obviously not part of the judging criteria.

Maybe you should post a link here

Maybe they were the only ones that entered and forked out the €130 + VAT to be considered.

I'm actually disgusted by that. NTL don't give a damn about their customers, as evident by anyone who contacts their idiot staff.

UTV won this award a few years ago when they were going through one of their worst ever periods.! Really makes you wonder about it.......

Who is betting on 3 as next year's winners?

Our very own Damien Mulley was a judge
Maybe he can shed some light on UPC getting the "well deserved" title.
