I've been using ISDN in Italy in the late 90's at home and it was great... Many didn't know its potential, but even the fact I could use a router that connected to both lines and automatically dropped one once a call was mad or coming, made my life way better...

And before ADSL become a thing, having a 128k symmetric digital connection with low ping was a dream!

My folks and I moved to a town outside Naples in 2000 and had a 128kbs symmetric ISDN. I remember it being fantastic. A huge upgrade from our 56k in the states at time of nascent Napster and online gaming.
