subject: ISDN -- a true Blast From

Hello Tommi,

On Wednesday March 29 2017 17:56, you wrote to me:

 MvdV>> Indeed, who still wants ISDN when you can have adsl?

 TK> ISDN is a telephone line,

ISDN = Integrated Services Digital Network.

So it is basiccally a connection to a digital network to transport bits. The
bits /can/ be a digitised telephone signal. It can also be used to establish an
Internet connection. 
 TK>  ADSL is internet connection. There is a difference.

It is also a connection to a digital network. Yes, it is an Internet
connection. The bits /can/ also be used to transport a digitized telephone
signal.

Yes, there is a difference. But there are also similarities.

Exactly my point. When you had adsl, you no longer needed ISDN. It was no
longer used and so you no longer wanted to pay for it.


Cheers, Michiel
