Key point to note:
Telecom salesman
^^^^^^^^
Its there job to Sell freezers to eskimos and firewalls to cellphone users.
95% of the time they dont know what they are talking about ( In a previous life (Well
Job) I worked with sales people (both Internal and Telecom) for a few too many
years.... up to 30% of my job was fixing there blunders)
With your own fire-wall you have 100% control over the configuration, with telecom you
have next to none.
If they are offering it for 'Free' it may be worth considering as another security
layer..... oh I think they offer virus filtering as well... not 100% sure on this.
