By far the best value and service stability (compared to unwired) I have found is with 3. $49.95 for 1GB of downloads on a HDPSA connection. Good coverage and linux compatible (2.6.19 kernel onwards however simple patch needed to identify card for previous versions of kernel). Fast connection, I got over 2MB/s with a broadband test. 3 also gives the modem away free if you have a 2 year contract or you pay $10 per month for modem on 1 year contract. I got recommended the service from a SLUG member.
