Also illegal. Check the FCC's ERP limits for point-to-point 802.11 and I believe you'll find that what your ISP did for you is breaking the law.
36" dish + 100 mW looks to me like it's way above the ISM band EIRP limits for unlicensed use, since the limit is 100mW EIRP.
Hmm, I thought your base EIRP was 4W (same as it is here) for 2.4 GHz wifi (and probably other SS/high speed data networking), and that under US rules, you could increase that further on point to point links on a sliding scale (we can't, it's 4W for all antenna configurations here).
