Nortel ISDN terminal adapter

Advantages: External, BT made
Disadvantages: Price, support

...I got my BT Ignition ISDN Terminal Second hand in October. I bought it as I had just got BT Home Highway. I chose a BT adapter as I trust BT products. Since then I have found it reasonable. Great because it uses no system memory and you can see if the contection is flowing (as it's external). I am not happy with the level of technical support. Firstly the line is a 0990 number (premium rate), secondly they aren't open during weekends and thridly as I have never been able to dual bond my ISDN lines.... Read review

...Hello.. this is my first opinion on uk.ciao.com ... now this is one of the most usefull grey boxes on that scale i have ever seen !

It is expensive but.. good !!... Read review

...I bought the Billion 128K USB ISDN Terminal Adapter on the advice of a friend who is an IT technician at my college here in england. After much shopping around finding only expensive ISDN adapters which I guess performed well, being from well known companies such as 3COM, I decided to buy a cheaper, internal device. After a month of use, I decided the device was pathetic, useless, and unreliable. I asked another home highway user what he used to get his 26k/sec download speeds and he reccommended the Billion USB TA. for sixty quid it wasn't terribly expensive, and although I'd never heard of Billion before, I decided to buy it, and I'm glad I did, it connects in 1/3rd of a second, it stays connected, never fails, installs like a dream, and is exteremely fast, pushing the speed capability of ISDN to its limits. it is also very good...
