[ILUG] ISDV vs leased line

[Ronan Kirby]

> Most leased lines in this country cost (from ISP) between £3k and £4k per
> year.  As to the cost of the line from TE, it all depends on how far you
> are (1) from your local exchange (2) how many more exchanges your line
> must do through to get to the termination point.

> Some people are now finding it cheaper to use radio links to their ISPs
> node, avoiding the cost of the line from Telecom.  Obviously for this to
> work you must have line of sight.  I believe Keddingtons sell a radio
> solution.  Speeds are up to 10 megabit, but obviously thats only as far as
> the ISP node, from there on you will only gte the 64 or 128 you paid for.

> As to the cost of dialing via ISDN.  The calls now cost the same as on
> PSTN, they only wasy the ISDN comes out more is the cost of renting the
> line.  So work it out, 1891 number to your ISP with 7 mins per unit, and
> same call charge as PSTN.
