What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to transform data transfer rates measured in ISDN (dual channel) into equivalent speeds expressed in modem (300) units. It facilitates comparisons between modern ISDN digital service rates and older analog modem speeds.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in ISDN (dual channel) units you want to convert.
-
Select ISDN (dual channel) as the source unit if not already selected.
-
Choose modem (300) as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent data transfer rate.
-
Review the results to compare digital and analog data speeds.

Examples
-
1 ISDN (dual channel) converts to approximately 426.67 modem (300).
-
0.5 ISDN (dual channel) is equivalent to about 213.33 modem (300).
Common Use Cases
-
Small-office or home internet access comparisons using ISDN rates.
-
Analyzing remote LAN access or backup link speeds with bonded B channels.
-
Comparing vintage modem speeds for historical or research purposes.
-
Integrating legacy systems relying on older modem standards.
-
Telecommunication industry benchmarking of data transfer methods.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Understand that ISDN (dual channel) describes a combined data rate of two 64 kbit/s channels.
-
Use this tool for approximate comparisons between modern ISDN services and old analog modem speeds.
-
Consider the context of use since actual throughput depends on line and equipment conditions.
-
Leverage conversions for historical analysis or legacy equipment documentation.
-
Verify any critical data transfer requirements with real-world testing.
Limitations
-
This conversion compares a telecommunication service descriptor with a non-SI historical speed label.
-
Results provide approximate equivalences due to differing technology types and transmission conditions.
-
Actual throughput may vary from the calculated values based on equipment and line quality.
-
The converter does not reflect modulation or encoding differences between units.
-
Not suitable for precise engineering calculations requiring exact performance data.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ISDN (dual channel) represent?
-
ISDN (dual channel) refers to using both 64 kbit/s B channels of an ISDN Basic Rate Interface in parallel to provide a combined throughput of about 128 kbit/s.
-
What is modem (300) speed?
-
Modem (300) denotes a data transfer rate of 300 bits per second, originally from early analog dial-up modem standards.
-
Why convert from ISDN (dual channel) to modem (300)?
-
Users convert between these units to compare digital ISDN data rates with vintage analog modem speeds for historical analysis and legacy system compatibility.
Key Terminology
-
ISDN (dual channel)
-
A telecommunication descriptor meaning two 64 kbit/s B channels bonded to provide about 128 kbit/s combined data throughput.
-
Modem (300)
-
A historical data transfer rate measuring 300 bits per second from early analog dial-up modem standards.
-
B channel
-
Bearer channel in ISDN, used for carrying voice or data at 64 kbit/s.
-
Channel bonding
-
Combining two or more data channels to increase the total data throughput.
