I use Earthlink here in the US.  They're arguably one of the largest ISPs 
here.  Flat rate ($50/month), no bandwidth caps, always-on connection.

Flat rate is more common here in the US, though Comcast has been toying 
with tiered access based on bandwidth utilization and throttling (that's 
been in El Reg a few times over the last several months).

There's a reason I don't use Comcast.
