a single channel ISDN connect is 64k, a modem connects at 56k (alright typically 40.6k) and is billed a single phone call per data channel.

to bond the channels to 128k involves 2 calls, and is billed as such.

the only benefit is connect speed... (time taken to dial / handshake)
Because some people can't get ADSL or Cable and considering BT have postponed their plans for Midband, ISDN is the only viable option for a faster connection. Whilst it may not suit you or your budget, it does for some people
