At the very least, could we fight about something worthwhile? I¹m all for a good fight, and I¹m the first one to trigger the nuclear explosion.. But the subject matter of this peepee competition is tiring. I query the nanog gods frequently, sometimes you get useful feedback and sometimes you get a bunch of haters trying to piss on your parade. There is probably some validity on both sides, but a Friday night email fight should be reserved for those email blacklist douchebags.. Arguing over DIY routers being shittier than radical COTS equipment can be done off list. It¹s supposed to be Christmas.. Have a coke and a smile and STFU if you aren¹t going to add some value. I can¹t wait for this thread to fan back up on Monday morning when the normal(er) people read this. The first rule of fight club is.. You don¹t talk about fight club.

This has gotten a bit ridiculous.
I was hoping someone could give technical insight into why this is good or not and not just "buy a box branded as a router because I said so or your business will fail". I'm all for hearing about the business theory of running an ISP (not my background or day job) but didn't think that's what the OP was asking about (and it didn't seem they were taking business suggestions very well anyway).
This thread started cool and about 10 posts in, started sucking.

Right. And the point that others are trying to make clear is that if that $100K is half your capitalization, you have $200K - and that's nowhere near enought to cover all the stuff you're going to hit starting an ISP. (Hint - what's your projected burn rate for the first two months of business?)
not to worry. growth is not going to be an issue doing openflow due to today's tcam limits.
