This has in my view been exploited by many business telecom suppliers who charge high line rentals - far in excess of the cost to them. The worst offenders are now charging in excess of £21 PER LINE PER MONTH. Perhaps the reason for these heavy prices is because, with the increase in adoption of IP Telephony (VOIP), The number of lines needed by any business using IP will be significantly reduced. Old technology lines and calls, whilst still a very valid and reliable technology, has the major limitation that only one call at a time per line is possible. ISDN doesn't improve this very much because although it is supposedly optimised for data the transmission speeds are dire. It has also been the subject of high prices and high installation costs, especially if sourced from a certain high profile supplier. ISDN IS BEING PHASED OUT. I would s

Therefore the further from the exchange you are the slower your internet connection will be. Your speed is also affected by: The number of wire joints between you and the exchange. The number of people being served by that loop connection. Known as contention. A simple explanation is - External Contention Is the number of other premises being served and - Internal Contention is the number of people accessing your internet connection in your premises, on your line. Domestic ADSL connections have a contention ratio of 50 to 1. this means that your speed is divided by up to 50 other premises simultaneously using your exchange loop. Bu
