Independent site listing internet and cell phone deals

Hi,

I'll start working in the US (Lancaster, PA) in a few weeks for a period of up to 6 month. Since I don't think the apartment provided by my employer will have internet access available, I'm already checking out options for going online there without having to commit myself in 2-year-contract or something.

I have found some articles and blogs providing information about prepaid deals with prepaid 3G service, but all that focuses only on single offers without giving me the chance to compare prices of other carriers. Here in Germany we have dozens of websites you can use to query regularly maintained databases giving a broad overview of the market and what is available. I can't seem to find any such site for the US market. prepaidgsm.net is a start, but it focuses too much on cell phone services and hardly on data-only deals (e.g. USB surf sticks) or combinations of different services. Sorry, but it's a bit static.

So, I'm looking for an independent website that I can use to search for US internet and cell phone plans and deals by using certain criteria like "contract", "prepaid" or which hardware I need etc, and for comparing the prices.

Is there such a site observing the US market?

Cheers,
Mac
