Re: From tethering on AT&T EDGE to ISDN?
Experience with both (although not at the same time, I haven't had ISDN in years) tells me that for most all uses, ISDN will be better than tethering with EDGE.
It's possible, if you have an excellent signal, that a bulk transfer would be faster on EDGE, but its interactive performance is quite poor due to the high latency.

Bigger downloads will sometimes cancel themselves out, but I think that's when it reaches it's higher speeds. Youtube-ing has to load about 30 seconds at a time to watch 5 seconds worth of clips so that's very frustrating!

I have a friend who lives up on a hill maybe about a mile away from an at&t site. I can easily pull 200Kbps when I'm at his house. Web browsing is still basically like using a modem.
