I use Virgin moble broadband using the 12gig for $149 plan. The modem being a Huawei E1762.

I also used a USB 3g dongle for a while, IIRC it was this one. Making it work was reasonably straightforward pppd configuration, once I stole the secret magic AT handshaking from a post on this list (thanks, btw). It didn't have split-personality thing where the device pretends to be a CD-ROM until you say "the driver is installed, now present as a modem". IIRC there is a utility in Debian to force that, but I don't remember its name.
