It depends what your doing. Ciscos dont to PPP well (although so
dont lots of other products), and also on your technical prowess. If
you are technically capable (ie, know how to debug WAN connections)
they you can get more "bang for you buck" even at the same price with
other choices. The $300/year is a factor that other routers dont have as
well for support.
