Then again, if you're lazy and cheap like I am, you can stick with what 
your ISP provides (if it's through a decent service)..  Mine uses 
supernews, which limits me to two 16k/s connections.  However, I did the 
math, and that's right around 74 gigs per month.   I may have to wait a 
little longer for large binaries, but at least I can grab whatever I want 
(sometimes twice when I do something stupid like "rm * somedirectory" 
instead of "cp * somedirectory" - which I've done more than once).
