Aki. AFAIK, only Access-Kenya were doing QOS. ISP will not secure against Internal threats.. (malware infected pc's etc) This is the dilemma: FOSS is great, but it needs rocket science to set up and maintain Commercial Open source is expensive to buy, but easy to use. Tusker, please weigh the products (check their websites, review datasheets etc) and get a clue about how each device works. Then make an informed choice.

Aki, If i may be bold, and answer...
Most of the products put across here (CheckPoint, Sonicwall, Cyberoam, ASA) all come with a subscription service that downloads / updates rules for IDS, Packet inspection, Anti-Spam etc.
These updated rules, tied together with AD integration and User-based reporting, will ensure that the customer has the best protection, while getting reports and visibility into the network. The customer will not need to have RHCE,LPI certification to operate/configure.
All these features in one product MUST surely cost money.
Most of these products actually run on Open source platforms (Cyberoam, Sonicwall run a Linux kernel)
I have not seen any free Open source product that can bundle all the features of an IDS
Am currently evaluating Endian firewall Community http://www.endian.com/us/community/download/
