The Slingshot crew celebrate one of their three awards.
The 2020 Broadband Compare awards have been handed out and Slingshot emerged as the biggest winner on the night.
The internet service provider collected the people's choice award plus awards for the best bundled plan and best value provider.
The Awards were hosted by Broadband Compare, a free-to-use broadband comparison website operated by NZ Compare and TUANZ, the independent not-for-profit membership association with over 170 New Zealand corporate and individual members.
"We felt that 2020, in particular, was a time to recognise success and celebrate NZ’s broadband industry," said Gavin Male, CEO for NZ Compare.
"As an essential service the entire telecoms sector has been working hard to keep Kiwis connected, come up with innovative solutions and put their customers first."
Michael Chan, awards judge and GM of technology for major sponsor Huawei said it was a year of big mass behaviour changes that placed an enormous stress test on the global broadband sector.
"Despite the massive increase in the number of New Zealanders working and learning from home, the local providers have ensured that our nation was well connected," he said.
