Performance...ISDN allows surfing at up to 128k with digital performance offering twice the responsiveness of an analog connection. A digital connection has half the latency or delay of an analog connection. This means higher throughput, more responsive surfing (latency has a big impact on surfing), faster login (as little as 5 seconds vs 35 seconds). Keep in mind the best 56k modem still uploads at 28.8. ISDN provides full bi-directional throughput (particularly valuable for large document, email, and file transfers). Convenience...When ordered and configured right, with the right hardware, the 2 channels/phone lines of ISDN offer the added benefit of ability to surf on one channel (and 64k digital will still blow away any modem) while faxing or calling (in or out) on the other channel. So, now you get a lot more use (as well as performance) out of that old "fax" line. A Great Deal...A fax line (or other) can be converted to ISDN for a one time fee (paid to your local telco). In most cases we can keep the same phone or fax number. The monthly cost depends on your individual circumstances, please contact SBC for more details. Does the phone company charge a metering cost...Yes, ISDN is metered by your telephone company. For prices on this,
please contact SBC or whoever your telephone service provider is.
This charge is a wash for business as all business analog service
is subject to this anyway. Residential ISDN is subject to this metering
only during 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday (when people are normally
at work anyway). Beyond that, residential ISDN includes 200 free
un-metered hours per month (outside of the business hour window).
In essence metering cost is not a significant factor unless you
want to nail up a connection or leave a connection on for long periods
(like a server). |
