Orange named top mobile broadband provider

Orange has once again been named the UK's top broadband provider.

Britons comparing broadband deals could be interested in details of an award win for Orange.

The telecoms firm came out top in the latest customer satisfaction poll carried out by YouGov, beating a number of big-names to the title for a second year in a row.

Notably, Orange was named as the top broadband company in eight separate categories, including that of best customer service and for offering the easiest-to-use technology and the fastest upload speeds.

Welcoming the news, Asif Aziz, director of broadband and home at Orange UK, said: "Retaining our position as the top mobile broadband provider in the UK is a great accomplishment which we're really proud of."

Meanwhile, TalkTalk has reported that more than 30,000 new customers signed up for its broadband services over the third quarter of 2009.

This takes the total number of Britons signed up to the supplier's broadband best deals to around 4.15 million, with its sponsoring of ITV's The X Factor cited as a factor behind its enhanced popularity.
