That has nothing to do with MCI, it has to do with the speed of their 
connection to MCI (if they only have a 256k frame relay and you have a T1, 
well, you are going to be faster) and their capabilities as admins/engineers 
to provide the service.  saying their ISDN is slower because of MCI is like 
saying Apples taste better than Oranges because Grapefruits are citrus.
