if thats what your connection is called then its broadband, if a dial up modem had that kinda name it would be false advertizing . . . . and well come to the Asylum

1-800 numbers are always toll-free. As are 1-888 and a couple others.

OK, one thing that you will want to do is go to dsl reports.com (http://www.dslreports.com) and make sure that your speed is kosher with the rest of the broadband world, but it won't matter due to Microsoft having servers to accomodate all different speeds.

The final way to make sure that you have broadband (cuz for you guys that don't know, ISDN is on a phone line, but is broadband ;) ) , is to see how your internet connects to your PC. If it goes into the NIC, then it's broadband. It will have a slightly larger connection than the phone line adapters....PM me if you need any more help man, I'm a tech :)
