StarLinX ISDN Internet Service
ISDN is a special type of phone line provided by Verizon. Simply
put, ISDN is a phone line that can connect to the Internet on-demand at
128k.
ISDN is the best service available right now businesses with users of less than 50. It is the most reliable, and is not very expensive.
Compared to DSL, ISDN is somewhat slower, somewhat less expensive, but far more reliable and will usually be more than enough for most small businesses.
UPDATE: Verizon, not too long ago, changed the pricing structure of ISDN. It used to be timed, meaning that you had to pay a per-minute charge for using the line. Now there is a flat rate fee available which is approximately $100.00 month for unlimited use.
What you need...
- ISDN Line provided by Verizon.
StarLinX can order this for you on your behalf so as to make the ordering process easy. There is no extra charge for us placing the order for you. ISDN lines are usually installed in less than 2 weeks. - ISDN Router.
We recommend using the Netopia R-3100 ISDN router as it has proven to be highly reliable, and has advanced configuration options that allow for compression (for faster throughput) and scheduled connections. This router can be ordered through StarLinX... we have them both preowned and new. - Internet Service, and a local access number.
Non-dedicated service...
ISDN is a switched-digital service.
Unlike modems, there is no dialing period. When the ISDN router connects
to the Internet, it is instantaneous. This allows ISDN routers to be
programmed to drop the line when its not being used for more than a
minute or so since reconnecting is not something you would notice under
normal use.
This method is the least expensive, and the most popular choice among most users.
