As far as security is concerned, I'm much more worried about ISPs providing WiFi routers that uses WEP encryption AS A DEFAULT.

For those who don't know, WEP can be hacked in a matter of minutes with no technical knowledge required. There's plenty on scripts on the internet that automates the whole process for you.

Do yourself a favour and use WPA2.

If you have FIOS, enabling WPA2 breaks their router, and tech support won't help, claiming that WEP is "just as secure as a wired connection"
