BT fully support voice on Business Highway, they just assume that most
people will use it for data. Most of BT's 'Digital Select Services' are not
available on Home Highway, but are available on Business Highway. As I
recall the only service not available on Business Highway, but is available
on ISDN 2e is DDI across multiple 2B lines.
