In Belgium the phone company (wholly government owned) charged an arm and a leg for ISDN BRI, so I never got one installed.
We lived far from the exchange (5km), which at first was still a rotary when my BBS went up so it wasn't even an option. I can still remember weeping with joy when it got replaced with an Alcatel System 12 cause of my new transfer speeds and reliability.
Funny thing, the rotary switch was in a building next to my high school, you could see the vertical rotaries from the street next to the main entrance.
