Sure, I have four of them in active use. Two rock solid Linksys WRT54GL's, one Asus RT-N16 and one Asus RT-N10 where the HE.NET ipv6 tunnel is terminated.

I'm not so sure about that.. There are marks in the air that DSL's disappear. Some areas here you cannot get a new DSL anymore, all you can get is mobile.

No. I really don't have any choices. Elisa's wires, Elisa's internet. Company connections are a different case. But they cost more.
