ISDN-the truth

Hobbes

At that stage, ASDL should be out, TE have said it will be much the same price as ISDN, but it's proberly based on this price. And I wonder if the people who bought the ISDN get a refund?

I was talking to a telecom dude yesterday about Isdn lines,and the bad news is that Telicom wont be dropping the prices of them till halfway into 1999.The good news is that by that time Telecom will be really pushing Isdn at the home market and the understaffed Isdn division will be increased ten fold.so start saving your pennies now lads

"In particular, he said Telecom would introduce in the first half of 1999 a new, high-bandwidth ADSL (asynchronous digital subscriber loop) service at a cost similar to ISDN lines (integrated services digital network). ADSL is a technology which offers vastly accelerated connection speeds over the copper phone wire already used for voice calls."
