ISDN
brings the digital network to the individual user. Using the
same copper phone lines that modem use, ISDN delivers a five-fold
speed improvement (up to 128 Kbps) and provides essentially
perfect transmission reliability.
Because ISDN uses the existing local telephone wiring, it's
equally available to home and business customers. Most important
for Internet users, however, is that ISDN provides a huge
improvement in access speed at only a fractional increase
in cost. ISDN connections are established by dialing a number,
just like you do when dialing out on a modem
Clients
can utilize this service from PTCL, for this purpose they
need to undergo an agreement with PTCL. PTCL will then provide
the company with special line, current etc. In other words,
PTCL establishes a mode to use these services. Next thing
the company has to do is to contact the ISP having ISDN modems
at their end. This may take about 1 to 2 weeks time period.

How
to get ISDN Line?
ISDN
dialup greatly improves your Internet access by improving
the type of telephone service you use. It requires that you
have ISDN digital telephone service from your telephone company.
Unlike the speed ratings of conventional modems, when ISDN
is labeled 64k, it means exactly 64k, every call, all the
time, in both the upload and downloads direction. An ISDN
call to an Internet provider is like being wired to the provider
with a digital wire. To use ISDN for Internet access, you
need an ISDN phone line from PTCL, an ISDN access account
from us, and an ISDN terminal adapter (commonly but inaccurately
called an ISDN modem).
