What is the difference between ISDN and MPDS?

ISDN is available over both Fleet 77 and 55. It delivers a constant data stream at speeds up to 128kbps and is best used for sending or receiving large files and images, voice communications, fax and videoconferencing.

The Mobile Packet Data Service (MPDS) is ideal where network transmissions are more frequent, less urgent or involve smaller amounts of data. Pay for the amount of data sent and received, not the time spent online, making it practical and cost-effective for email and web browsing. Available over Fleet 77, 55 and 33.
