I'd advise against it.  I recently worked for a small telco/isp that
tried this.  I've been out of the company for a while now, but since I
left, they've trashed the wireless gear & replaced with fiber.  From my
experience, you'll get decent quality sometimes -- maybe even great
quality most of the time -- but when little Timmy can't talk to Granny
on Sunday afternoon 'cuz the Moon is in Virgo & your wireless network's
gone flaky, you'll hear all about it.  Use a network you can trust as
much as you expect to trust a pots line, or don't bother, I'd say.
