Billion comes out tops on mybroadband.co.za ADSL Router poll

In a recent brand poll on MyBroadband.co.za where visitors were asked to advise which brand of ADSL router they use, Billion came up tops with just over 26% of the visitors using Billion routers.

Cara Muller from MyBroadband.co.za comments: “The polls are often set up randomly by our moderator team when they think there is an issue of interest that deserves mention, or by special request of our visitors. Our members really enjoy polls as they add value to the site, providing information that we hope is of significance to the industry as a whole.”

Riaan Leuschner, MD of Nology, a supplier of quality security-driven broadband, networking and communication solutions, including Billion routers, comments on the popularity of the brand: “Billion routers have been in the market since ADSL became available to home and office users in the mid-2000s. Billion is an expert in the development of ADSL router technology, ensuring its products are of a high quality and feature rich. The quality is evident in the number of major telcos that have branded and bundled their broadband packages with Billion routers, including Telkom, M-Web and Internet Solutions. Billion’s extensive and robust product offering meets the needs of any ADSL user.”

The latest technological developments from Billion for ADSL routers include auto failover where the 3G connection is initiated as soon as the ADSL link is dropped. The router intelligently recognises when the ADSL service is restored and returns to this connectivity automatically. Additionally, Billion’s latest ADSL routers include Fiber Gateways and Very High Bitrate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) modems ensuring the fastest speeds for data transmission.

Comments Rudolph Muller, Founder of MyBroadband.co.za: “Billion has made strides in the local technology market, and this is evident in the recent MyBroadband poll. It is not particularly surprising considering the strong ‘push’ from its South African partner Nology that delivers the products through distribution channels in South Africa.”

Nology provides excellent pre- and post sales support for their Billion router range. Comments Riaan Leuschner: “Before a sale is made we provide detailed product information and a consultation to guarantee the right product and solution is chosen for the customers’ environment. We also provide regular training to our resellers ensuring they are confident to sell and support the products. Easy Installation software developed by Nology assists users during installation and setting up of their Billion routers.”

Additionally, Nology provide unique customised solutions for large telecommunications providers or Internet Solution Providers (ISPs) where the customers’ own brand and settings can be integrated onto the device, casing, packaging, user manuals and quick start guides. Nology has its own support desk and call centre as well as a dedicated repairs and maintenance department that handle returns and repairs for resellers.
