    If a line can't sustain 32k dialup consistently, it's unlikely to support the constant 144k needed for ISDN.

    I had pretty poor dial-up performance and never had any problems with ISDN. I've also never had any problems with i-stream. And someone else I know had really bad dial-up performance and recently got i-stream no problems, which is presumably a lot more sensitive than ISDN. I've also never heard of anyone being denied ISDN, but I'm happy to be corrected...

    I've got ISDN, but it took a couple of years of incessant bitching and moaning to Eircom senior executives and ComReg to get it. All of my neighbours who have looked for ISDN have been denied it, including those on the same wireless connection as me.

    I was initially denied and told that there would be no way ISDN would work, since I was too far from the exchange. Unless I had held the engineer here, I would not have ISDN now. I recall many threads on boards also about people being denied ISDN.

    Cool. In any event, metered services suck ass. I was delighted to get rid of ISDN. Just out of curiousity, what's the max distance to the exchange for ISDN? I thought for some reason that it is a product available to practically everybody, but maybe I've read too much Eircon marketing...

    To the best of my knowledge it is 8km although I know a guy in the Outer Hebrides who is way more than that far from civilisation and has perfectly functioning ISDN. The may have put a repeater in for him though. He isn't sure. He's just happy to have it.
