- astrodust 3y ago64 kilobits of fury, or 128 if you could get a bonded connection.
- krylon 3y agoThat also meant you had to pay for two connections at once, and it was not universally supported among ISPs (AFAIR, at least).
- astrodust 3y agoI had business connection over a 128Kbit ISDN upstream to UUNET which cost $500CAD/mo. Within five years you could get a 1Mbit cable connection for basically $100CAD/mo. ISDN had a brief but glorious reign!
- detourdog 3y agoI got a call from an ISDN salesman desperate to makes sales. The place I worked didn't want an ISDN line but I sure did. My place in Brooklyn barely had phone service but I got I think 2 64kbit channels and a 9.6kbit a channel for an around $100. The a channel couldn't be used but the b channels each represented a single phone number. Digital TeleMedia was the one ISP in NYC trying to offer static IPs over ISDN lines. We used Ascend Pipeline 50s and I was using MailShare from Glenn Anderson and Chuck Shotton's Webster. See that Glenns project died just a couple of years ago which is sad if I had Known it existed I would bought a license. I just checked and I'm happy to report Chuck Shotton is sill at MacHTTP.
