Pricing: ISDN & ASDL
Manto
cost.
At the moment I pay BT monthly rental (about £10 I think) on a second line
for internet and business calls. I pay Freeserve 12.99 a month for unlimited
internet calls.
Am I right in thinking ISDN would cost about £25 a month, and I could carry
on with my current internet and telephoning costs? So ISDN would basically
cost me an extra £15 a month?
And I've heard that self-installed ADSL is now available (my local exchange
won't get ADSL for a long time). How much would that work out a month?
Thanks for any advice.
PS Cable is not an option where I live.

Well, if you get Home Highway it will cost you about £25 a month for 2
Channels. Basically gives you 2 Digital lines & 2 Analogue lines of which
you can use any two of the 4 at any one time.
Seems to me that if you got one of your lines converted to this then you
could ditch the other & the whole thing would cost you not a lot more than
you currently pay. I believe the new instances of HH also have a USB
connection in the box so you don't even need an ISDN card anmore - just plug
one end of a USB cable into your PC & the other into the box & off you
go.....!
FS Anytime works fine on ISDN though you van only use one channel to
connect. If you wanted to bond to get 128K then you have to use the 0845
number (and pay for two calls simultaneously)

If you can't get std ADSL you can't get self install either - both rely on
the same kit at the exchange.

If you're paying for two lines, then ISDN isn't going to cost you that
much more.

Erm...
Self install simply means no engineer visit to your property, the local
exchange still has to be ADSL enabled I'm afraid.
