[snipped] When I was doing WAN engineering in Australia, there was a very cost-effective nailed-up Basic Rate ISDN service that you might also want to research. [more snipped] You'd be referring to Telstra's Semi-Permanent Connections (SPCs). They were available on Microlink services. Telstra is shutting down their old Microlink/Macrolink network (switch types basic-ts013, primary-ts014). All new services are ETSI, and have been for a while now. They've been trying to get everyone to migrate, but it's taking a little longer than they hoped :-) They don't offer SPCs on their new services, but they do have (at least for now) some reasonable call charge capping plans. I haven't done the sums - I don't think they're as cost-effective as the SPCs were but they're an awful lot better than raw per-minute charges.
