I would recommend 3's HSPDA service. There are a few SLUG people who use this service including myself. They have a really good offer at the moment $29 for 1GB per month or $49 for 2GB.. I think they are giving the USB modem away free as well with a 24month contract. Very competative with wired ADSL service with better ping times, download speeds and download quota with $29 plan. I easily get 2Mbit/s downloads and sometimes even quicker. 100 ms ping times to my home ADSL2+ account and they have good coverage within capital cities. Works a treat with linux.
