In that case he was quite irresponsible. The tariff for Microlink
has stated for at least a year that there are limits on usage (17
call centum seconds), and I was informed months ago by someone who
works for BC Tel that they would likely start charging for excess
usage on BRI lines this fall.

PRI connections are not affected by this, since they are considered
`trunk side' connections. If you decide to continue to offer ISDN
service, might well find it worth switching to PRI, though of course
not only will your costs increase significantly anyway (probably
around double), but you will have to pay a new install charge and
possibly buy new equipment.
