To spare others from the terror of having to find a useful number to order ISDN, here is a good number I found: 1-877-811-7892... Ask for Cecilia.

ATT ISDN ordering

As a former 15 year employee of AT and T...I can tell you that while in the communications business, they have problems communicating with customers. It is further complicated by the so-called "contract employees" who try to dupe you with "save on your bill" schemes. which often appear on your bill without authorization.
What are the present specs and costs for an ISDN line? Leo Laporte uses one to feed his radio show to Premiere. Is it 64K? If so, what's the audio bandwidth?

Which is better, 64K ISDN or Streaming 64k over the internet?
We use 2B+D. That's 2 bearer channels plus one small data channel. So, spanning over both channels, there is 128k both directions. The prices I was quoted were 205/mo with no contract. There would be a 250 dollar install charge to the demarc. If you sign up for 12 months, the monthly rate goes down to 95.02. If you sign up for a two year contract with them, the 250 install goes away. They tell me that they can get something lit up in five business days at the location we are ordering one, which is in downtown OKC.
Depends on what you call beter. Sound quality is alike when using same algorithms. ISDN however is much, much more reliable and has less delay. It almost is a dedicated point-to-point connection. In Europe it is still widely used, but almost always ISDN-2 (2B +D) which offers 128k. When I did a few projects in the USA I discovered that 64k single carrier is more common.mrlayne said:
A local VO talent had a problem with his circuit last week. It took him more hours than he cared to count to find a contact number for trouble reporting.
Here's the number (at least for North Texas):
1-800-790-2972. AT&T Business Repair.
Follow the prompts and make sure you have your circuit ID or the phone number of the ISDN line.
AT&T did find the problem in their box outside his home.
ISDN lines are running more than $200 a month here in north Texas as well. We're going Access/Blue box for high school football this season because of that.
Thankfully our the station we buy time from has all that!
