FAQ
What can ISDN do for me?
Answer
Integrated Services Digital Network (or ISDN) is a high-speed alternative to the normal telephone line, and is more efficient for connecting computers.
It uses digital information to ensure fast and clear communications, allowing you to connect quicker and transfer data more efficiently. With a normal analogue modem connection, your data needs to be translated, sent over the phone line, and translated again. Any errors cause a slow response.
You can achieve between 2 to 4 times faster connections by converting to ISDN. We offer 64 KiloBits per second and 128 Kbps ISDN options, whereas an analogue modem can achieve an absolute maximum of 56 Kbps - given all the correct conditions. KilosBits per second (or Kbps) is one thousand bits per second and is a measure of bandwidth.If you hate slow downloads, browsing and emails - this is for you. Since January 2004, ISDN at 128 and 64 kbps is available at all of our POPs countrywide.
Refer to Telkom’s website for more details on ISDN.
