If all the customers have ISDN setups, it most assuredly is, if not.....

Reliable 128 K bandwidth normally, and it's available both for upload 
and download.

It depends on how it's configured quite frankly.  A radio station, or 
advertising agency
is likely to have the ability to transfer the audio from an ISDN line to 
whatever storage media it needs, and note that there is enough bandwidth 
for almost any audio work.

I don't know how much modern ISDN costs, but ISDN per month costs can go 
up quite high.  There used to be sales of ISDN equipment on EBay of 
questionable provenance and reliability.  I would hesitate to even 
guess.  Oh yes, it costs more than most cable or DSL setups, and most 
implementations have per minute usage fees in addition to monthly charges.
