This has gotten a bit ridiculous. I was hoping someone could give technical insight into why this is good or not and not just buy a box branded as a router because I said so or your business will fail. I'm all for hearing about the business theory of running an ISP (not my background or day

Totally agree that a routing box should be standalone for tons of reasons. Even separating network routing and call routing. It used to be that BSD's network stack was much better than Linux's under load. I'm not sure if this is still the case - I've never been put in the situation where the

I'm not sure of te topology around there, but you can get these 2.4Ghz dishes for *cheap* (I got one at a hamfest for $20 - spent as much on the rp-sma converter cost almost as much). If someone (or a colo) is near there, you might convince them to put up the same thing and work with that. I think

There are indeed FreePublicWiFi nodes in some areas like Dupont Circle but it's not very convenient most of the time (signal strength or speed issues). IIRC there's a Commotion mesh around Columbia Heights which should be much faster. Personally, I just use a Mifi and never have any issues.
