Point taken Nigel. Some of the new services are so new that they are not
available on every exchange YET. That's why "Watch this space". May be you
will want to look at the new caped BRI & PRI ISDN services available.
Reliability is taken for granted. We only have one CCT that is not reliable.
It's a 48K Frame to a small city although all other legs are great. All
factors are equal it's only cost were talking about.

------------------------------------
I wouldn't be so quick to diss DDS. For one it's reliable, not to mention
well
supported. It is also one of the few options that allow for synchronous data
rates, ie. up to 2Mb up and down. It is expensive, but in most cases where
it is
used there is no suitable option.
