Broadband Genie is BBC website of the day

Broadband comparison site Broadband Genie was declared BBC Website of the day yesterday, by Miles Mendoza on the Steve Wright Show.

Every day Mendoza scours the web for the most useful, entertaining and interactive sites and praised Broadband Genie for its simple, yet flexible, search wizard which lets users compare providers based on factors including price, download speeds, length of minimum contract, and free software supplied.

Broadband Genie CEO Philip Wilkinson says: “It is great news that Broadband Genie has been recognised by an institution like the BBC as the place to go to research and compare broadband deals. Mendoza certainly knows his stuff when it comes to the internet.”
