Curio I am purely talking out of a SA viepoint.
I have used broadband and ISDN all over the world but in SA I had computer centres on both.
I can and never will recommend ISDN. It's a "super dailup" that will cost you way much more than BB long before you know it.
I had endless problems with cxomputers dailing up and eventually sat with R2k telephone accounts.
The good news : Because of upcoming competition and seriously bad publicity on their pricing Telkom reduced their BB . ADSL prices dramatically.
It depends what you do (but as far as I know you are young with no / young kids). In that sense if speed is not a major concern go for HomeDSL192 (my bru has it and he is happy). Uploads are at 64k and download 's (the important one is at 192kb and is R329 p.m.
On the other end you get a household like me and Almitra .. we have BusinessDSL512 (the highest now in SA). For R699 we get 4 "dail up's so on one account you can use it in your two businesses and one at home and give one to antie marie. But be warned you are always capped to 3 Gig download.
If you go past it you are NOT cut off - your bandwidth are just throttled ..
You get 10 x 30 minutes free in hot spotsetc etc .. it works for me as mommy has her kaputer - network to the two daughters kaputers and son has his laptop wireless in his room. When daddy visits I am the 5th one on my wireless lapdog - so a happy famliy all connected.
My boet's kids are too young yet and he is happy with one connection and download his porn and stuff.
Sis in law says computers stay online in the office ... verstaan ?
I can give you his number any time to phone and ask him (he is in Pta) and did the installation a week or two ago.
Hope it helps ok:
Cheers
