Paul,

I am using ISDN now and really like it, especially during non-business hours.
The problem I find is the state of the internet in general concerning bandwith or lack of. There are times (especially during business hours) when my sons USR Courier at a 33.6 (yes he often gets a 33.6) connection is not much slower than my ISDN connection. Downloading files though is really fast and can achieve throughput of 500kbps, but that's based on MFG claims and I have no way of knowing what kind of throughput I'm achieving.
I look very forward to xDSL but I really feel it's a ways off for the masses. And what about the cost? I just heard today that US Worst in the Salt Lake area is going to drop their unlimited ISDN service from $185 down to $70 per month.
This is not confirmed but could only help ISDN. I hope more people start posting to this thread. Anyone out there with any thoughts?
