The BCTel price you mentioned above covers only your end of the ISDN line
to your ISP, you would still need to pay that ISP of your choice to
carry your traffic from that point on.  That latter part is what costs
the most, no matter which ISP you choose.

BCnet announced today that effective April 1 their ISDN rate will
drop to $450/month for the first 64K of bandwidth and $200/month for
each subsequent 64K increments.

BCTel prices for same is something like $495 and $300, respectively.

I believe iSTAR's prices for these are similar to BCTel's.

These prices are in addition to what you pay the local phone company
(BCTel in this case) monthly for your ISDN BRI wall-jack (which is
2x64K wide bandwidth-wise).
