Homehiway??

Sorry to have to ask such a basic question but what is homehiway and what is its relevance to broadband?

Home Highway was an ISDN system giving full 64K speeds in both directions. It is no longer available.

Thanks for that, just wondered cus on the Plusnet BB sign-up form it says there may be a £50 fee to convert from ISDN to ADSL.
As far as I know the line I'm concerned with has been nothing other than a ordinary BT phone line!!

Wow that page is somewhat out of date! I thought the HH service was ended for existing users ages ago.

Re: Homehiway??

Found something about this:
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/2361-no-new-bt-home-highway-connections-from-bt.html
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/2865-the-end-is-in-sight-for-home-and-business-highway-connection...
It says it wasn't that popular - I thought it was great - especially as my exchange was fairly late getting ADSL.
