 Is there anything anything else cheaper than ISDN that would be sufficient to play games on the net? <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_confused.gif">

No, not really no... unless you think standard dial up is sufficient.

Is this about right???
 
 56k Analog = 4-5kbps
 64k ISDN = +/- 8Kbps
 128K ISDN = +/- 16Kbps
 
 Does anyone know who is the cheapes ISP???
 
 Can u play games over the net with 128k ISDN???

 ISDN 2
 
 ISDN 2a
 
 ISDN 3?

You can play Games with ISDN and you get low pings on local servers.
 ISDN 2 means that it has 2 digital channels so get that if you are only going to use the internet with it. ISDN 2a means that you have the 2 digital channels plus 2 analog channels, so you can be online and use the phone at the same time. ISDN 30 (I think) is more a corporate solution, it´s a whole lot of ISDN channels in once but costs a small fortune <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_confused.gif">
 Correct me if I´m wrong.
 Costs will differ ISDN 2a is about R20 more than ISDN 2 but is way better, your line rental will be around R160 a month and ISP charges are about R110 for 64K and R160 for 128K, but remember if you use 128K you pay for 2 calls <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_mad.gif">
 My total monthly cost with the R7 call plan is about R580 and I go online every night.
 I hope that helps.
