“By the middle of last year, nearly two thirds of Australian households reportedly had Internet access, with broadband connections outnumbering dial-up services by a ratio of two to one.

“Internode is addressing this change in the market by broadening its product range and our focus is on gaining market share.”

 Tapper says Internode’s aim is to make it as easy as possible for customers to get plenty of value out of their broadband service - for example, to make its NodePhone telephony service even easier for customers to use, it is now selling Internet Protocol telephone handsets.

“Also, we recently announced a partnership with TiVo licensee Hybrid Television Services, under which Internode is delivering unmetered access to TiVo content and Blockbuster movies online.

“During the past year, we have signed wholesale ADSL2+ service agreements with both Optus and Telstra, which allows customers to choose Internode as their preferred broadband provider no matter where they live in Australia.
 
“At the same time, we continue to install our own DSLAM equipment in telephone exchanges so we can give customers the best possible broadband experience.”
