|  Insight yea right
A silver for Insight? Maybe in reliability and increased stability of the network since they took over the reigns 3 years ago or so from @Home. But for pricing, speeds and customer service they definitely have a lot more work to do before getting that silver. SBC is destroying them price and speed wise with there new tiers. It's to bad Project Pronto - didn't stay pronto. Or many of us Insight customers would be out the door pronto and going to SBC.

I'm thinking it's the price vs. speed issue.....though it's been stable enough for me.

How dare Cogeco not be under the Gold Medal Category.
I am embarrassed as a Cogeco customer that BBR has our names so closely associated with Bell Sympatico. I will not go sit in the corner until further notice. |

Perhaps an award on slowest to equal, meet, or exceed what other broadband providers are offering. Charter would get #1 for my vote. Go Charter!!
Seriously though I haven't had much problems with Charter. I just get a little frustrated with all of these announcements on other companies giving more speed to customers, lowering prices,,,,. It just seems like Charter is stuck in a rut right now. |

Re: Insight yea right
Agreed Iggy. The sad thing is, if this were done a year ago, they would probably have gotten a gold award. And unless things change soon, I'm sure they will end up at bronze, or more likely, with no award.

|  Optimum Online gets the gold
I think the gold rating for Optimum Online over the past year is a justified rating. Although some will probably come in and say otherwise I am sure.
In established territories and after preliminary roll-out bugs have been overcome the service is usually very reliable. They do have some long term challenges with e-mail and the news server that they are focusing on now. Hopefully they can get those pinned down soon.
Kudos to justin and BBR for starting this new Awards Program!
Excellent idea!

Re: Optimum Online gets the gold
It is interesting. Now I've got historical ratings, it is clear OOL is slipping as fast as SBC is rising. |

| I would think that the OOL rating would be heading in the downward direction. They will need to impact their problem areas if they are to maintain their high ratings.
All you need to do is stop in the OOL Forum a few times a week to see there have been some lingering issues.
Fortunately, I can count my outages for the past three years on one hand and I have not had many problems with e-mail.

Don't know where SBC Southwestern Bell was in last years awards, but as a subscriber to them for almost 4 years I would have to say they should be rising. Don't know what it will take for them to get a Silver or Gold award, maybe rerating my 5000/515 from $45 down to $35 next year!  ;);) |

| Saw this yesterday..
when I was researching ISPs for a customer. I think it's a great idea to have this and feel that it will be a useful addition to the site. If the ISPs are smart, they'll incorporate this into their advertising.
