I guess it is a case of the phone company cashing in on the new technology in your area, since in reality the lines are no different to install than an a normal line, and actually result in less maintaince for the phone company, since they feed directly into thier digital switchbaord without any conversion between analog and digital like a POTS line. In an area like that, load balancing on 28.8's might well be an option worth looking into. > The only reason I wondered is because of the asinine pricing Nynex > thinks they can get for ISDN. I often wonder why there is so little difference in cost between what my provider charges for the ISDN and a 28.8, it would cost us more if we tried it than the ISDN does now.
