I'm not sure what you say you have done; using the G4 line, are you still
using ISDN, or are you using a modem? I don't know much about ISDN lines.

I've only ever used a standard line (Telewest usually, but also a BT line
which is fractionally slower) with a V90 Courier, and rates are pretty
good. But people I know who are using ISDN to Demon have never complained
about the throughput, and are getting rather faster rates than my 56k,
which is as it should be.

Do you think maybe it might be worth checking out your ISDN setup? Could
you set up an account using ISDN with (maybe) Freeserve or Tesco, and see
how the rates compare?
