    Isn't that strange - Eircom told me that to be tested for I-scream I would have to downgrade from ISDN (at a cost of more than €130) to PSTN and then depending on the DSL line test choose whether to pay to be connected to DSL or to be reconnected to ISDN!

    Perhaps the committee could seek a written statement from Eircom on their policy on this topic (why we can't have the UK migration solution) and post the reply here and on the IOFFL site?

    Punters unaware of ISDN-to-ADSL conversion

    Sheffield-based ISP PlusNet claims ISDN users are still under the impression that they have to pay through the nose to upgrade to broadband.

    Earlier this year BT introduced a scheme that enabled ISDN users to upgrade to ADSL for less than £30.

    If for any technical reason the conversion fails, BT will convert the line back to the original ISDN service at no cost to the end user.

    Punters are charged £27.99 (inc VAT) only after they've successfully moved to ADSL from ISDN.

    However, a spokesman for PlusNet said of this upgrade path: "The message is still not getting through".

    Earlier this month Nildram announced its ISDN migration path to ADSL. ®
