So BRI ISDN is grandfathered and nobody can order it ever again in MD?
At least for residential ISDN BRI, that is correct. I don't know about commercial. When I called to disconnect, the Residential ISDN customer service rep had me acknowedge twice that I understand that the disconnect is irreversable, and new residential ISDN service cannot be ordered. :o]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19671145 Sat, 22 Dec 2007 17:23:41 EDT Re: Verizon Billing in Maryland http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19667105 patcat88 :

I'm a fellow Carroll County resident. My residential ISDN BRI costs $39.06 month total. I've had the line for over 10 years and never had to "renew". I got the line before dsl or even cable was available in my area. Now I use it only for the voice channels. I don't use any data. It's my only line in the house (no pots). I kept it only because it gave me two voice channels (and telephone numbers) and was cheap compared to buying (2) POTS lines.

I had a technician out to the house last week for a repair issue, and he knows of only a few people left in the county on ISDN. He said in this part of the county it's just me and the ATM machine in the k-mart. Funny that I found another ISDN BRI user in the county here.

Sadly, I'm getting ready to cancel the line and switch back to POTS so I can bundle Verizon's triple-play. Verizon says that once I cancel, BRI ISDN is gone forever. They will not do any new orders in Maryland.

So now instead of the $76 or so a month, it's now $107 a month for the ISDN line. I've been trying to get a straight answer now on why it's suddenly jumped in price and/or get it corrected to no avail. (Just getting a new contract was a fiasco to begin with.)

What is the going rate for an unlimited ISDN line in Maryland with Verizon for everyone else - especially if you've renewed it recently?

Thanks!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19258628 Mon, 15 Oct 2007 05:19:00 EDT
