I live at a point in Longmont where lines don't support DSL, and getting
ISDN requires a booster. At one point I discovered that if I owned my
own equipment, and shopped, a T1 really is only a few bucks more than
ISDN here. If a half T1 were used, it becomes cheaper (there is an
enormous price range though in how much different people charge for
T's).
