ISDN uses digital technology instead of analog signals that POTS lines use. ISDN can dramatically speed up transfer of information over the Internet versus connections via analog modems. ISDN/BRI connections (128kbps or 112kbps) are typically 3 – 4 times faster than most dial-up connections (26.4 – 48kbps) over a POTS line.
