does anyone know why 128 should cost any more than 28.8? if so, how much more would be justified?

Does the phone company charge more for ISDN than for regular analog service?

I'm an advisory board member and I know that MCOM is currently considering several pricing possibilities (which we can't discuss yet). One thing is for sure, you should not expect to get 128K for the same price as 28K.

vibaby --

Simple... it's a question of supply and demand. I expect that 128 kbps access will save me a lot of time and frustration. That is worth paying for, and hopefully, Ricochet knows it. It is how any company receives a premium price on any product or service. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question...
