soho Router capable of 15m/2m

I am going to be getting 15m/2m internet and I am trying to see what I can use as a router. I have found a few reviews of lan/wan performance but not for all the models out. Currently I use cisco routers(4) for my 6m/768k(cable) and 3m/768k(DSL). I would like to try an out of box setup for ~200.
 
I have no problems reaching speeds of 8-10Mb down and 768 up on my Linksys Wrt54g. I don't know if it would do 15/2, but I don't see why not.
 
Many router WAN ports are 10BaseT, i.e. 10 mbps max, so check the router specs before you buy. A quick google search for "router with 100baseT wan port" brings up Netgear Model FVS318 router and a check at Netgear's website indicates that the WAN port is in fact 10/100, and price is about $100. I am sure there are others. Verizon is offering FIOS @15/2 and provides its own router as a part of the package.
 
Even if a router wan port is 10/100 doesn't mean it can route 100meg of data. I saw in another thread the wrt54gs pulled 33 mbits. That is probaly what I will use then. Thanks guys.
