sigh. yeah, but it'll be 2020 by the time we get rid of them, and in the meantime I'd really, really like to have vaguely-usable internet access.
How good is cable (especially DOCSIS 3) in Melbourne now? It used to be unfriendly to Linux, requiring, as I recall, a special login tool for Telstra and restricting "servers" from being run under Optus, and I'm not sure about speed or reliability.
If you're willing to pay extra, you can supposedly get 100mbit downstream on Telstra's cable. Annoyingly, it runs down my street, but they won't hook me up because they're phasing it out due to the NBN coming in.. except my street *doesn't* get the NBN. >.<
