[TriLUG] cheap ISP for low-bandwidth home use?

[Tom Roche via TriLUG]

What's the cheapest way to rent a Linux-compatible home internet connection locally, now that FreedomPop's home service is going down? What I mean, why I ask:

When TWC/Roadrunner raised their internet-only price (~2012, IIRC), I raised both middle fingers and switched to FreedomPop's 10 GB/mo Sprint-4G-based home service (was 20 $/mo then, is now 24 $/mo). That device (the FreedomPop Hub Burst) will EOS in a couple weeks, so I'm looking for alternatives. Any recommendations? My requirements seem fairly minor:

* plays well with my (now-aging, but all up-to-date Debian) laptops and WRT54GL router

* is generally reliable. (FP typically only went down during major thunderstorms.)

* provides data quantity and rate greater than or equal to FP's 10 GB/mo and 1-2 MB/s (actual).

* zero or minimal bundling with other goods/services

So I'd like to know what OP (if anyone on this list is as cheap as I am :-) are doing for cheap internet access. Bridging off phones? Jumping from one yearly teaser rate to another? Something Completely Different?
