T-mobile also has had the very best deal on low end data plans. My
wife pays 4.99$ (us) for unlimited internet access via her handset,
which we can also tether via Bluetooth to her macbook. Pretty killer

PS They have gone through periods of port blocking that make the

circumvent them by running a proxy on ports that remain open (ie
110/465 etc.)
