I don't remember how expensive it was (yay for cablemodems!) but 
Voyager.net was easy to get working.  No weird protocols, and the tech 
support didn't freak out when I said, "I'm running Linux, can you tell 
me whether you're using PAP or CHAP or MS-CHAP, and what's the IP 
address for your DNS machine?"  Set up kppp (wvdial would also work) 
with that info, connected fine.

I haven't used them for a year and a half, things may have changed, but 
I never had a problem with them.  YMMV.
