Dodo appear to use Telstra and Optus for transit, so they're not going to be different to those.
Reality is that there are only a few direct paths to the US - some use only direct (eg. Optus on SCCN, Telstra on SCCN/Endeavour) some use a mix (TPG, iiNET with SCCN and PPC1).
So, the differences without any congestion are slight in the scheme of things.

And unfortunately the routing policies don't seem to differ between residential and commercial (dsl and fiber), though I don't know of any AU provider that does (maybe AAPT before they sold residential?). What exetel do with traffic is interesting too, it might indeed be as Skeeve suggests, the death of pipe peering...
