This is my recommendation too.  You'll find that the wifi strenght in
many of these ISP devices is weak compared to CotS stuff you can buy
for low prices.

I haven't gone so far as to tunnel out of the ISP network but I'd
never rely on their DNS (often filtered/crippled) or mail offereing.
All I want from them is a bit pipe. :)

Thanks
