I have seen a couple of aritlces that  I would liked to have quoted
but end of line seems like a problem for some and I did not feel
like editing everything...

ISDN is generally available in the Greater Cleveland calling area!

There are exceptions and the 1 I am aware of is the 247, Chagrin Falls

I have ISDN in Willoughby, BUT it is "trunked" to from the Main CO.

Now if you are old like me the Main CO is the one refered to at
750 Huron Rd. Also known as the 241 CO. (If you are really old --
it was the Main - Cherry Central Office).

Willoughby has a Siemans Switch, but it is not ISDN compatible.. So to 
provide residential ISDN they trunk it from somewhere else..  This is not
true for all areas  Solon, 349 has ISDN as does Fairview Park area.

The cost for Residential ISDN is approx $32.50 a month. This is for the
measured rate.. (Still residential) .... To get the flat rate, 2
additional packages are added at approx 7.15 a month..

This should make the total bill about 50.57 tax included..

Do not forget the installation charge is 116.50 one time charge..


Yes there are some problems with Ameritech TeamData in Chicago, but 
they are the only provider right now..


Point your WEB browser to 

http://www.ameritech.com/products/data/isdn/index.html


And you can get a lot of info and no conjecture of what is and is not 
available in the Cleveland area...

You will note that the web page does not mention the flat rate package.
You have to ASK for that..!!!

Yes I had some problems getiing installed, and yes my bill is very
screwed up BUT, I am very happy with the service...   

Sorry about the length of this, but it rather silly reading all the
comments about ISDN...
