[ILUG] Eircom offering ISDN lines.

[Stephen Kearon]

"Eircom hi-speed" is the same as previous ISDN installation with the
following changes:

- Installation is now £99 incl VAT
- The NT1 installed has a built in analogue port
- The existing two pair cable is used, rather than installing new cable

ISDN is always 64K per B channel, call costs are the same as for
analogue.

The only cavet is to be aware that your ISP will charge to change your
dialup account from
analogue to ISDN

Hi,

My father got some blurb from Eircom today about ISDN lines. They're
calling 
it "eircom hi-speed". Here's some of the bumph:

"eircom hi-speed is a high-speed, dual channel, digital line that makes
the 
biggest difference where you need it most"

In terms of getting it, they say, "All we have to do is upgrade your 
existing phone line to eircom hi-speed. The monthly rental is just
£29(ex. 
VAT). We don't have to lay any new cables, so there's minimal disruption
to 
your service. Better still, you can keep your existing phone
number.....the 
rental of the exisiting PSTN line will cease."

The price of the upgrade is £81.81 (ex VAT) and it seems the service is 
subject to a site survey and availability. There is no mention of the
charge 
for the calls or the actual speed of the connection (2 x 64k??), but
they do 
say that use of both channels would constitute 2 calls and be charged 
accordingly. Plus, they mention that additional equipment may be
required.

"Maybe" it mnight be an option for the home user eventually?

Mike
