Doing the math, 4GB/week is only 6.9KB/sec if you're downloading at 6.9KB/sec for every second of every day in the week. It's a pretty shitty deal, even for 20$ a month. You're basically paying for a modem, with the side effect of being able to download things faster (but still the same TOTAL amount downloaded).

Depending upon how much more the other options cost, I'd recommend going for one of those. That or just living off campus and buying cable or DSL.
