Isdn/asdl

[picanin]

Curio ISDN is basically an ancient technology. It is off the market over here and if Telkom hadnt screwed up there marketing of it, it would ahve been gone in SA by now too. I still ahve an 11 year old mag in SA in my stuff where Telkom trumpets the arrival of ISDN. They then proceeded to over price the product terribly and it never sold. With the advent of ADSL on the horizon they tried desperately to get some money out of IDSN by dropping the call charges and aiming it at home users. They also delayed the roll out of ADSL in order to try and push people to ISDN. Even with the rpice reductions it really isnt worth it to jsut have a basic 64k up and down (althought if you bond channels and incur double the costs you can ahve 128k). As FB says go for ADSL. Whilst I still feel it is ludicrously expensive in SA - we sell 3meg BB with a 40gig cap for the same price as Telkoms cheapest ADSL - it is still a far better alternative to ISDN.

However...... if you live more than a few miles from your local exchange ADSL might not be available and then you will ahve no choice but to go for ISDN. If you ahve no other choice......
