Ah, ISDN ... I remember using bonded ISDN lines for videoconferencing maybe 10 years ago, when internet speeds even in fairly large city office buildings just weren’t reliable enough. I’m not surprised the BBC has stuck with them until now - the quality is perfectly adequate for radio and the reliability is rock solid. It just works, much as DTT just works, much as scheduled broadcast TV just works. Things that just work don’t get chucked out just because something new appears.
