Sorry, but I am *not* getting to your point.  When I was using an analogue
modem, I had the same problems with streaming audio feeds that you
describe.  With ISDN, those problems have gone away. No more dropped
connections.  No more "net congestion" errors.  For me, ISDN is a very
significant improvement.  That includes FTP, although my experiences are
not based on downloading porno from overloaded sleaze sites. 

Your statements do not in any way reflect my experiences with internet access.
