We're pretty fortunate in these parts, in that cable internet connections are readily available with simple bridge modems. Here at The Pumpkin (our new house) we have 100/10 over DOCSIS 3.0 (CDN$75/month).

The VDSL stuff (over telco wiring) is a bit messier, but seems to also now be sorted out with plain bridging being a commonly available option.

For now at least.

Cheers
