Re: DSL - from the installer
ISDN/IDSL only uses one pair. However, you cannot line-share it as you can with ADSL, you'd need another pair for voice.
I would wholeheartedly agree that it's far better than two 56k modems combined. A 56k modem only gets about ~42k, and even then it usually suffers from a lot of retrains and high latency. ISDN-56 was WAY faster especially for web browsing.
If you can get IDSL at a reasonable price I'd go for it. |
