Vodafone and 48 Crowned Providers of the Year at the Switcher.ie Awards 2025

Vodafone has been awarded Broadband Provider of the Year, while 48 won Mobile Network of the Year at the Switcher.ie Awards 2025.

Now running for over a decade and in its twelfth year, the Switcher.ie Awards spotlight brilliance in the broadband and mobile industry and help customers choose the best providers and services for their needs.

This year, Vodafone excelled in the Broadband Awards, pocketing four prizes in total. In addition to Broadband Provider of the Year, they swept up three other Public Choice awards and were voted Best Value Broadband Provider, Best Customer Service, and Best Technical Support.

Sky won TV Provider of the Year for the 11th year running, and eir clinched Best Broadband Bundle for the first time since 2020. In recognition of Ireland’s smaller providers, Pure Telecom won Best Alternative Network.

48 triumphed in the Mobile Awards, securing three prizes. Alongside winning the top accolade, Mobile Network of the Year, 48 was named the Best SIM-Only PAYG Plan and was the public choice for Best Customer Service. The public chose GoMo as the Best Value Mobile Network, while our judges assessed newcomer Sky Mobile as offering the Best SIM-Only Bill Pay Plan.

Independent consumer research determined the Public Choice winners, while the Switcher.ie Judge’s Awards were selected by telecoms experts at Switcher.ie.

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

“For over ten years, the Switcher.ie Awards have recognised Ireland’s leading telecom providers. We’re confident that the combination of public voting and expert judging provides valuable guidance for customers seeking the best providers and services.

As more Irish households access super-fast full-fibre broadband, they expect nothing less than speedy, reliable service, great value, and responsive customer support. Whereas mobile customers are seeking more than decent 4G or 5G coverage; they want plans that offer great value, simplicity, and flexibility. This is evident in the Irish public’s shift away from traditional networks.

This year’s winners deserve a big round of applause, especially the overall champions in both categories. Vodafone’s four awards – including Broadband Provider of the Year – are proof of the network’s fair pricing, quality provision and outstanding customer service. We also congratulate 48, who scooped three awards, including Best Mobile Provider of the Year.”
