The local ISP will give you better service, and you won't be guilty of sending money to M$. You shouldn't have any problem using an run-of-the-mill Cable/DSL router/hub to share the service with your LAN, so long as you use only one public IP. If you need more than one public IP, there again is a great reason to go with a local independent ISP instead of M$N.
