I've had ISDN, and now have a cable modem.  The cable modem blows the doors
off of the ISDN setup.  There is no comparison...it's faster, cheaper, and
easier to configure for multiple systems in the household.

The ISDN terminal adapter was over $150.  Each Ethernet card is around $15
for a 10Mbs card. I paid $39 for a 5 port hub, and haven't regretted the
decision to change yet.
