I would second Chuck on this. I have seen some folk with DSL backup when the backup didn't work. Always was something with the provider.

My home DSL connection has been a roller coaster ride as well. --- "Mirza, Timur" wrote: > thx for the heads up...we are researching dsl as a > backup solution...we have > 1500 sites on isdn backup & we have tons of isdn > telco issues > > -----Original Message----- > From: The Long and Winding Road > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 12:47 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: is there anyone migrating isdn backup > to dsl backup > [7:58568] > > > ""Mirza, Timur"" wrote in message > [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > > we are looking to migrate isdn backup at our > retail stores to dsl...is > there > > anyone that has performed this already? > > > CL: having done a number of data networks that were > DSL based ( but none > migrating ISDN to DSL ) I can offer this > consideration: if a DSL link goes > down for whatever reason, it may take more than a > couple of days for your > telco to get it back up and working.
