I need an ISDN briefing

[scott]

Hi All,

I have satellite internet which is no good for gaming and a speedy, 26kbps dialup that I use for gaming. It don't work worth a crap and I can't even use teamspeak when I'm flying with my Squad. As you can guess, nothing else is available except ISDN.

Until yesterday, I had never heard of ISDN, and after talking to the folks with AT&T, I don't no much more today. I am really confused, they want to charge me $200 to run the ISDN to my house and charge $78 per month for 200 hours and they can't even tell me how to set everything up.
They said that they didn't service the ISDN and I would need get an ISP that could support their ISDN.

Is there anyone out there that can put all this in perspective...

Thanks and have a great day!

Hello Scott,

It varies from state to state. We really need to know what state you are in.

Check and see what their unlimited plan is, you may have to switch over to business class.

The setup price sounds about right, although it is a rip off IMHO.

You will need a Terminal Adapter (TA) and/or a router modem.

You will also need an ISP, the ISDN line cost does not include access to the internet.
For reliability I would suggest finding a local ISP that supports ISDN. Otherwise, SBC/Yahoo or MSN might work for you.

IF/WHEN you get ISDN working, it works excellent for most gaming. Not so well for downloading patches/maps. (128 is max)

Good luck
