CenturyLink's retail telecommunications service, Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Basic Rate Interface (BRI) is available for resale by Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) to their end-users. https://www.centurylink.com/wholesale/pcat/isdnbri.html -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

I was talking to an old friend yesterday, and he told me that he's been working from home for a while now, and the conversation turned to ISDN phone service, which I recommend to anyone who can still obtain it. This morning, while searching to find out which states, if any, still offer ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) phone lines, I came across a story from 2016, which predicted that "BT" (I assume that's British Telecom) would discontinue "PSTN" service in 2025. So, I have some questions: 1. Which states still have tariffs for ISDN BRI lines? 2. Which countries still use the technology? 3. Is "BT" really going to turn off dial tones in 2025? Curious people want to know! https://www.computerweekly.com/blog/The-Full-Spectrum/ISDNs-days-are-numbered-What-should-you-do -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

I'm taking a trip down memory lane today, and tomorrow I'll concentrate on all the latest Fiber-to-the-soup-bowl, satellite-delivered-nonstop-porn, and Voice-over-Intermittent- Provisioning services that are supposed to give us all attacks of The Vapors these days. >From the Verizon site: Benefits
