Have used all three of these in the past. Now using an unlimited plan with GigInews.com. Giginews has a unique discount program where I pay less each month based on the number of days my account is not used. I don't download every day, so the discount adds up quick.

Giginews.com - $15/pm; Unlimited, 30 Conns, SSL included
Plus, pay less each day you don't use your account.
