Dial up is silent and quick compared to the beep beep beep squeal squeal of analogue, and it runs at a true 64k all the time, the compression technology in a v90 modem means the speed drops off on bigger downloads.

I hoped ISDN would be a good compromise, but the info on the web is a little bewildering and all I could glean from it is that it is expensive. Does anyone do flat-rate ISDN access?
BT Midband was looking good until the bit at the bottom of the FAQs said 'no Macs'. Apparently attaching Macs to the BT Midband network seriously degrades the service for everyone else! Goodness only knows how.
