There was a time when German communications company AVM had a fairly large presence in the UK market place as its expertise with ISDN put it ahead of much of the competition. However, it didn’t react quickly enough to BT’s wholesale pricing slaughter of its ISDN services at the end of the 90s and faded away over the ensuing years. Well, it’s back again and this time it’s thrusting itself at the broadband market with an ADSL router that looks to have more than a few tricks up its sleeve.
