RE: Re: BT ISDN + BT Anytime

Fair comment!  However, rather than a technical issue (a-la BT), this is a
policy issue.

Demon do not currently provide bonding on their surftime products. From
Demon's FAQ:

What about ISDN?
BT ISDN-2 lines (including Home Highway and Business Highway) can call the
new numbers. Other types of BT ISDN line cannot. The BT SurfTime
subscription covers both channels of the ISDN line.
The new telephone numbers contact the existing Purple ROMP. This ROMP does
not have a dual-channel-bonding facility. This may be added at some future
date.

Mark.

With respect to this, BT Surftime (as a billing product) allows for Bonded
ISDN.  The part of BT that provides the Surfports that the isps use (Demon
excepted) cannot, for technical reasons, accommodate Bonded ISDN.  Demon
get
round this, I believe, by not using BTs Surfport product but by routing the
Surftime call direct to their modem racks where they can do as they please.

The last I heard was that Surftime T&Cs allow you to bond channels,
and providers such as Demon will allow you to connect to them via
Surftime bonded channels. However, I was also told that BT have not
yet managed to overcome 'some technical' difficulties in implementing
channel bonding over Surftime, for which I assume what is really
meant is that BT *can* provide but would like to drag their heels
over it for further commercial gain, not that I'm cynical.

Your best bet is to phone Demon's sales or technical line. They seem
pretty clued up and helpful, particularly if you are a prospective
customer.
