Uncapped ADSL prices before MWEB: your help needed

[rpm]

Hi there

We are looking for the price of uncapped ADSL before MWEB, DigiChilli and Screamer. Can you help?

We are therefore looking for the price of uncapped ADSL services (all speeds) before 2010 - Internet Solutions, Vox Telecom (DataPro in those days), Verizon Business and the like.

It will be great if you can post it right here.

Thanks!

No on 1Mb/s ADSL

ISDN, whats that? Did we ever have ISDN in this country?

O wait, ISDN is that amazing circuit approach to telecommunications that ensures quality of service with 64kbs channels.

In seriousness though does the MSAN setup make it more or less possible for cost effective dial-up provision - I've been wondering this for ages. Dial-up as a legacy service seems doomed to become more and more expensive to provide with equipment costs.

I was one of the suckers who fell for that and remember a lot of the others who did too... the performance on that thing was horrible.

Dial-up is history in MSAN areas.
