The Connect 247 ISDN Standard service is intended for frequent home Internet users with ISDN or Highway lines who wish to connect to the Internet at 128Kbits/sec - the fastest possible speed that ISDN 2 technology offers.

Although our Connect 247 Lite, Standard and Premium services all allow for ISDN connections at speeds of up to 64Kbits per second, the Connect 247 ISDN Standard service allows you to connect at 128Kbits/sec. This can be nearly three times as fast as a typical modem connection (which is often no faster than 44Kbits per second, even with a "56k" modem).

And just like all our other Connect 247 packages, it allows you to connect to the Internet at any time of the day or night, seven days a week without incurring any call charges for your Internet connection. This is because you connect to the Internet using an 0808 number which is just like an 0800 number in that it is free to call - you won't see any charges for dialling it on your telephone bill.

In line with the fact that it is intended for frequent home Internet users, the Connect 247 ISDN Standard services allows you a very generous maximum usage limit of 160 hours per month even when connected at 128Kbits/sec (or a whopping 320 hours if you connect at 64k only). There is also a low contention ratio of 10:1, which in plain English means that as a rule of thumb you should not get contention-related connection failures too often when connecting to the Internet. A two hour session cutoff time applies to this and all our other regular Unmetered packages, which means that the connection will automatically be dropped if you are online for 2 hours in one go, but you will be able to re-connect afterwards as normal.
