i work for a local telco and BRI is avoided due to the amount of
hardware it can take to get to an end user. DSL is simply easier and
cheaper to provide. Not sure why you can't get caller id, i know when
can add that feature to BRI

Hi-
Because a majority of my customers are in Europe, I've gotten quite
used to
working with ISDN (PRI) and BRI on a regular basis. Recently one of my
customers asked me if I could terminate a few lines locally here in
the USA
(California), so I called up SBC to enquire as to how much it would
cost to
install a BRI here.
Although the rates were reasonable (except the installation), I got the
distinct impression that they really didn't want to install BRI's.
Their
comments were "well, BRI is getting quite antiquated", and the like.
They
said with the advent of ADSL, there's not much of a market anymore, as
most
of past usage was modem related.
I'm a little worried about the pricing going up, and availability
going down
in the near future. I don't have the volume yet to justify PRI.
What are other's experience in the US with BRI? Also, they mentioned
that I
couldn't get caller ID with the BRI service, which I thought was a
built-in
feature.
