Well the place I work for had permanent 64K ISDN  from sometime in mid 
to late 1996 until late last year.  I'd hate to know how much it cost 
them in the beginning, I mean I worked out that it cost them 
approximately $8000 in the 12 months up until when I wrote the proposal 
to changeover to ADSL.  Thats all ISDN charges and internet access 
charges through our ISP, with of course the lions share being money 
going to Telstra for the ISDN.

It was pretty reliable, but slow as hell and very expensive.
