What is the difference between ISDN and PSTN?
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.
