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.
100/3mbit speeds for me (outer eastern Melbourne suburbs), outside of one multi-day outage due to something up the street blowing up, no problems. OS agnostic; they provide a Cable modem that'll do DHCP/NAT/etc. R
