I currently have a (supposedly) synchronous 128k ISDN line. It only costs my $9.95/mo. for 150 hours/mo. It's been flaky from Day One. My upload speeds RARELY exceed 64k, and my download speeds exceed 96k only every now and then. I've done plenty of griping and raging at my ISP, but the fact remains, it still beats a 56k dial-up any day of the week, and it's the same monthly fee. We just had to pay a $120 one-time fee to the phone company to "condition the line," whatever that means. For all I know, the service guy did no more than urinate in the network box on the side of the house!
