I'm just across the lake at Summerland Point. I use Nobbys Net. They have a $24.95 unlimited plan with 4 hour session limit and a $38 plan with 500Mb download and unlimited time online. They may be expensive, but they seem to be quite reasonable as far as speed goes. Worth a try if you're looking around.
