Nice summary of choices.
RE: ISDN
I was previously running ISDN, and found a variation that minimizes costs if
it works for you. the measured service part of the monthly charge is for
DATA. Not for analog, so if you use a 56K standard modem into the DSL modem
port, there's no data charge because its analog coming out of your
conventional 56K modem. Further, there are dual-56K-modems on a single card
that can bind together to get about 120K effective analog (optimum) rate,
likewise with no measured service (data) charge. US Robotics called it
"shotgun", but don't know what its called now under 3com. Your ISP may or
may not provide for binding 2 simultaneous accesses, but if they have an
ISDN-level service, they might. At any rate, FWIW, its a legal way around
the 300 hour limitation that I used with success until DSL was available.

John and others,
I recently did an exhaustive evaluation of the broadband options available
in my area.
<SNIP>:
The technology is not state of the art, but has been around for at least 10
years.The negative is that it is a measured service. You pay by the hour.
In my case, the cost is $74.00 a month for 300 hours of A and B channel
service (128KB) and $1.00 per hour above 300 hours.
