Coinbase (recently added instant bitcoin delivery)
btcquick (buy using credit card)
 

The trouble with these other services is that they aren't as fast as Bitinstant.  Perhaps their website asking for sender's information was too much?  Very strange.

I imagine they'll be quickly out of business

"As many of you know, we recently re-launched our website. During this process we introduced many new features and changes to the way customers interact with our services. This process has been a learning experience, and you've provided a lot of great feedback on how things work and how they could work better. We value this input and the insights that it's led us to and we want to ensure that as we work, you, our customers, don't feel the growing pains associated with these improvements. For this reason, we've decided that the best way to proceed is to suspend new orders and dedicate the entire team's efforts to creating the next generation of BitInstant.
In the short term, we recognize that this may cause our valued customers some inconvenience; it causes inconvenience for us too. In the long run, we are confident that this total commitment to what’s next is the right move. Rest assured that our entire team is working around the clock to bring you a new, improved version of BitInstant. In the meantime, customer service representatives will continue to be available to help you with transactions that have already been initiated.
Again, thank you for your patience during this process. Everyone at BitInstant is committed to the future of Bitcoin and we're doing everything we can to get back up and running with a service that streamlines transactions and makes it even easier to buy and sell bitcoins...."
