 Broadband equipment maker Billion is named as Australia's
most popular modem brand for the second year running in the 2007 Australian
Broadband Survey, held by tech-savvy site Whirlpool.
Billion devices were used by 23.7 per cent of the nearly
18,000 people * who responded to the online survey, which was conducted over
four weeks from December 31, 2007, to February 1, 2008.
Whereas last year, Billion was a narrow winner in the
Broadband Survey hardware category, this year's result made it a clear winner -
with nearly twice the penetration of the second-placed brand, D-Link, which was
used by just 12.2 per cent of survey respondents.
Six Billion broadband modems were included among the 19
devices listed by the Australian Broadband Survey, which is published at http://whirlpool.net.au/survey/2007/.
Billion's Australian distributor PC Range is following up
the Broadband Survey success with a Billion roadshow in Melbourne and Sydney
for resellers, service providers and system integrators.
PC Range managing director Raaj Menon said the events were
intended to capitalise on the success that the Billion brand was achieving in Australia.
"Customers walk into stores to ask for Billion by name because of its good
reputation," he said.
"Our success in the Australian Broadband Survey is
quantitative proof of the market penetration by Billion. More than 4200 people
voted Billion as the top broadband router brand in the country. We want to
spread word of that vote of faith to the supplier side to continue to build our
momentum in the market."
The Billion roadshow will showcase current and new modems as
well as up-coming releases. Qualified resellers, system integrators and service
providers are welcome to attend these evening events at:
