Thanks for all the feedback Price definitely isn't the main concern for me Productivity is a higher concern than speed or price: another couple of things I should have asked about: - is there any ISP that insists on their own router? I want to use a Turris Omnia (OpenWRT), it can work with DSL modems in bridge mode as long as I have the credentials - do any of the ISPs (or just some of their plans) block incoming connections to services like IPsec or SSH?
