Sky Broadband has been named as the best provider of high-speed internet connections in the UK.

The firm beat competitors such as TalkTalk and Virgin Media in a survey of customers by Broadband Choices and Point Topic, reports ISPreview.

Internet users were asked to rate their provider on a number of criteria, including the quality and stability of the service they receive.

The time it takes to download a file or web page was also under consideration, along with whether people believe they are getting value for money.

Sky Broadband emerged at the top of the list, leaving TalkTalk in second place and Virgin Media in third.

This was followed by Tiscali UK, which was rated ahead of BT Broadband, Orange and AOL.

SkyBroadband claims to offer "great speed at a great price", as well as add-ons such as free internet security software for a year.
