General: Robert Llewellyn at Top10 Broadband Awards

Top 10 Broadband awards are always fun, and a great insight as to what's going on in the Broadband world. I found myself attending these awards on Tuesday, at the Paramount club on New Oxford Street.

You can read the awards for yourself on their website. I'm currently using Virgin 50Mbit and it wins "Fastest Broadband" without a sweat. It's the only broadband I've ever had that gives you *more* than what they quote, rather than less. It's also nice to see a hat tip to Three having the best value mobile broadband - another company really trying to push broadband in Britain forward. BT winning an award for Innovation though? They have to be the least innovative company I can think of..

I see a fair few celebs whilst out and about at press events and very few of them do I ever bother to talk to. Top10 was an exception to this rule, being presented by Robert Llewellyn of Red Dwarf/Scrapheap Challenge fame. Growing up watching Red Dwarf (and loving it) this was an awesome experience and unfortunately Jamie Bamber - more exciting than meeting you

Anyway - as they say - pics, or it didn't happen...

Sir Bob was really down to earth and there wasn't a moment when the conversation felt "forced" and he was quite happy to yarn away with us on life, love and technology. It's kind of strange to think that he's the same age as my Dad. Maybe he'll take me up on my offer of allowing me to train him to do tricks on a mountain bike. We'll see!
