Guest wmmc Posted January 6, 2005 CID Share Posted January 6, 2005 Most already know I got rid of satellite, and now on dialup. Verizon has put in a 2nd phone line, and was cheap, its dedicated for dialup, image is what I am only capable of with analog phone lines, thats what the Verizon guy told me when adding 2nd line. Stupid old phone lines, but browsing is not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wmmc Posted January 6, 2005 CID Share Posted January 6, 2005 Satellite was fast(had no problems with speed), we had our roof done and dish had to come down in the process, decided to leave it down and save money, was paying $99 a month for the service, will be getting another satellite service when or if available. No other options, DSL, IDSL, ISDN wont work over an analog phone line, too far from cable, 15 miles or so, too mountainous and forested for wireless. So satellite and dialup only 2 choices out here.

VanBuren Posted January 6, 2005 CID Share Posted January 6, 2005 how about ISDN? VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJVageli Posted January 6, 2005 CID Share Posted January 6, 2005 Do they have ISDN here in America? I though that was like Europes broadband (Except Sweden) Not saying that Europe is slow,theyre catching up,but I think I would have satellite than ISDN or none Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISDN has been very popular here, 10 years ago, it still is popular in unurban areas where they dont have adsl. I think adsl is the most common broadband in Europe sorry this went off topic VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MICROWAVE Posted January 6, 2005 CID Share Posted January 6, 2005 ISDN technology is still used in USA, a way to look at ISDN is that it is a speed 128(digital),you would be surprised how much this technology is used in many things ....for instance phone systems......its not the newest technology but its still in widespread use. There are still many company's that use it over a phone line because thats all thats available Microwave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
