Eoin Clarke, Commercial Director of Switcher.ie, commented:

‘For more than a decade, the Switcher.ie Awards have given Irish consumers a clear, independent way to have their say on the broadband and mobile providers they use every day.

This year’s Awards land at a time when households are keeping a close eye on costs and looking harder than ever at the value they’re getting from their broadband and mobile plans. With so many options on the market, consumers want straightforward information they can trust when deciding whether to stay put or switch.

Our winners are selected using independent consumer research alongside expert judgement, ensuring the results reflect real customer experiences and are grounded in accurate, representative data. Used alongside Switcher.ie’s comparison tools, the Awards help consumers cut through the noise and make confident, informed choices.

We extend a huge congratulations to all of this year’s winners, and in particular to Sky and GoMo, who were crowned Broadband Provider of the Year and Mobile Network of the Year respectively.’
