Sometimes the "wrong" way is the "right" way

I like to do things right. Sadly, sometimes doing things "right" gets in the way of doing them well, or doing them at all. In my most recent case, I needed to stop trying to set my network up "right", and do it "wrong". Now, instead of looking like an enterprise network like I wanted, it resembles a residential network on steroids. In reality, it actually makes sense... it is founded on residential technology (Verizon FiOS), after all, which just does not support the networking schemes that enterprise networks use. All in all, the question really is, "does it meet our needs?" And in this case, I'll take the 30/5 service for a few hudred dollars and a residential-style networking scheme over 1.5/1.5 and an enterprise-style networking scheme any day of the week.
