May I ask for a little advise

I also live more than 4kms from an exchange and can not get broadband. I have had ISDN installed which is in effect 2 phone lines in one. It doubles the speed from 64kB to 128kB and allows you to use the telephone while on the net. It drops down to 64kB while on the phone, but it means you can make and recieve calls when someone is on the computer.
