    I just got ISDN into the house and it's soooo good. I bet you're all jealous, so you should be.

    Sure, calls cost twice the amount they used to for me (used to cost 1 old pence, now it costs me 2) but now I can actually play MW3 (Mechwarrior 3) and I only have to shoot 5 or 6 mechs ahead of the enemy mech to get him!

    Delighted!

    How are things in 1999? Call Bertie and warn him about the economy.

    Nothing wrong with ISDN. Plenty of TV/Radio stations use it for OB because it has more consistent upload speeds. Rip-off for home use of course. You should get a WAP mobile phone next.

    Pain in the whole to troubleshoot when things go wrong though

    Probably better to call the economy and warn it about Bertie.

    Cant see the point of it to be honest. Upgraded my modem from a 33k one to a 56k one a few months ago and it is lightening fast. More than enough for most uses. Business maybe need ISDN, but no need for it for the home user. Just my 2c.
