This I know to be wrong. I know this since my wife just installed
ISDN lines for her work place.  Your whole post seems to be of the
same quality.

According to Bell Canada web page, 2B+D ISDN lines is $50+ per
line, plus $1/hour/B-channel with a $50/month cap. That means
if you have an ISDN line and use both B channels 7/24, you are
looking at just over $150 per month.

If you go check, Bell is conducting trials of ADSL technology.
