For that price I think you could subscribe to Wireless Nomad with the 
exact same 3M/800K speed. I've been considering them for a while now and 
would be interested to hear from people who use them (linuxcaffe, etc.). 
Does anyone know if a static IP is an option with them? What about more 
general information? Do they use custom firmware on the WRT-54GL? Can I 
use my own WRT-54GL?

Their residential plan can be seen here:
