1000% sure of what I'm doing before I go fiddling things I understand
well.

I can give you some feedback. I was with Optus cable broadband for 2

I used Optus cable, never had any issues with it.
I don't connect my machine directly, I go via a little
box that is a dhcp client to optus and a dhcp server to
my lan.
I have no reason to think it doesn't work directly though.
Support is fine. Extremely few dropouts.

I use pump (apt-get install pump) instead of dhcpcd as my DHCP client, and it works
fine with optus. You might want to try that. Optus doesn't you to send anything, so
don't send your machine name or host name or anything.
You could try power cycle your modem before starting your dhcp client. U

Try dhcpcd if you have it - it works for me. My command line is
dhcpcd -h co3xxx-a.
I'm not familiar with pump, but I'd guess that it doesn't send a
client id, just a hostname request.
