In general terms, compare ISDN and DSL.

What will be an ideal response?


Both ISDN and DSL are digital last-mile solutions, using the existing phone cabling, with special equipment. ISDN requires a terminal adapter that plugs into a special wall socket that looks like a standard RF-45 network jack. A DSL connection also has a special device, but it connects to a conventional RJ-11 wall jack. ISDN is actually still a dial-up connection, requiring the number for the far end of the ISDN connection, and a special identifier number for the near end, while DSL is an always-on connection. Finally, ISDN service has a top speed of 128 Kbps, and DSL service comes in a variety of speeds that begin at the low end with ISDN's top speed, but far outstrip ISDN in speeds of many megabits per second.
