It's the only "high" bandwith option that I have available. Any idea's what kind of monthly costs and setup fee's I should expect?

BTW - I'm only about 2 miles away from the ISP.

the distance to the isp doesn't matter, it's distance to the phonecompany...but i dunno if isdn is dependant on distance as much much as dsl... it's still hella expensive though. I've seen $39 mo + a couple cents a minute, $99/mo unlimited, blah blah blah

Where I live, the cost is 29.00/month for 200 hours of usage from the phone company, 130 dollars in installation fees. A local ISP here charges 29.99 a month for unlimited usage on two channels. So 60 bucks a month after installation, pretty steep.

You should really check with you *LEC (*Local Exchange Carrier). In your case I'm guessing that it's QWEST. ISDN tarriffs vary from carrier to carrier and from state to state. Sometimes it's metered meaning you're charged per minute (OUCH!), sometimes it's a flat fee plus a per call charge (much better for data only).

In short, call your TelCo, because that's who knows. :)
