Recently we announced that Skyway West was offering an enterprise grade Cable internet service.

ISDN (“Integrated Services Digital Network”, but some of its more unflattering nicknames included “It Still Does Nothing” or “I See Dollars Now “) was a common variant touted by most major telecom companies.
