Telco Award 2026: the small independents have the happiest customers

handyabo.com hands out its Telco Award for the first time. Nine awards go to six independent providers, picked solely by the Peer Score from public Google and Trustpilot reviews of all 24 providers examined (data as of July 8, 2026). Mobile winner is spusu with 9.1 out of 10, internet winner Teleboy with 9.3.

There is no jury, no entry and no fee. A link back to handyabo.com is not a condition, and an award does not change a provider's position in the calculator. Among the network winners, Mucho leads on the Swisscom network with 6.3, ahead of Swisscom itself with 5.5 at identical network quality. The three network operators are not among this edition's winners: Swisscom 5.5, Sunrise 4.7, Salt 4.5.

Every awarded provider gets a badge in four formats, free to use, portrait and landscape, light and dark. The next edition follows in January 2027.
