I use "SmarttNet" and they are excellent.  They charge $19.95 a month
and it is for unlimited usage.  They do not charge a start-up fee,
which is why I gave them a shot.

There are no busy signals (95% of the time) and they have a great
selection of newsgroups.  They have next to no down time.

They have ads in the Computer Paper if you are interested in checking
them out.
