At the moment I have ISDN and ADSL at home but I am thinking of changing company. They have told me that I will not have ISDN anymore. What does this mean exactly? Will the phone line quality drop? I am completely confused. Anyway, can someone please tell me if there are any drawbacks in my changing the existing situation.|||ISDN and ADSL cannot co-exist on the same phone line. If you truly have both, you have two phone lines.
If you have two phone lines, you can change one of them to whatever you want (if you can get it - maybe the reason you have ISDN is that you are too far from the exchange to have ADSL).
ADSL is far faster than ISDN - from 10 times to 100 times faster, depending on line quality and distance from the exchange.
ADSL can co-exist with PSTN on the same phone line, so you can make a voice call at the same time as you are online.
To check your situation. go to www.samknows.com and check under Exchange Search to find out what%26#039;s available for you.|||PSTN (normal phone with normal modem)If you are online, the phone can%26#039;t be used. You pay per minute. The speed is very slow (56kbps).
