Re: So little green.. all red

Not 100% true- I live in Oakland County Michigan (one of the five wealthiest counties in the US) and the only broadband solution available here is Satellite. I have to admit I do live in a sub-urban area about 45 minutes out of Detroit, but best estimates are still six months to a year before DSL or Cable modems are available.

Luckily however, ISDN is available in my area! Only $155 a month for unlimited access (you still need to get an ISP). Or I could opt for the metered plan of $55 per month +$.02.5 per minute per channel

Gotta love GTE (now verizon)

  No CLEC's to the rescue with IDSL?? If you can get ISDN, you should be able to get IDSL....maybe that'll happen sooner.

Nope, not here in Marysville,O no any kind of DSL,#1
i'm to far from the Co,#2 there is no ISP that provides it here,it;s just not avalable here,neither is Cable,
i pay my ISP $35.50 a month for 128k,and they are the only ISP here that has ISDN dialup,i pay Sprint $40.00 a month,
so $75.50 a month for ISDN Unlimited access, so i
guess it's not to bad,compared to what other's pay,i call
Sprint every 2 week's about DSL,and i call the local
Cable every 2 week's,their getting to know me by my first name

ISDN and DSL are as different as day and night. ISDN can work thru an exsisting DLC, where DSL cannot.
