Our connection is through iiNet. I haven't needed their help much, but
when I have (e.g. to get the name of their NTP server) they've been
pretty helpful. I haven't tried any Linux-specific questions on them,
though.

Is anyone here using CitySpan, and if so how reliable is it, and how
consistent are the speeds in inclement weather? We're on a 24-hr modem
link, and are not in an ADSL-capable area, so CitySpan crosses my mind
(although it would make my wallet cross) every now and then. That the
box is Linux-based sounds promising.
