Some providers, (Verizon, for instance) include free WiFi access at Verizon partnered hotspots if you have Verizon at home. Charter may do something similar..
To get a non-wire 'internet', it is either WiFi, cellphone tower, or satellite.

You can only get WiFi if there is something nearby broadcasting WiFi. Starbucks, for instance.

You can get mobile internet (3g) from various sources. Sprint, etc. Won't be cheap, and the overall bandwidth (both speed and cap) will suck.
 
Normally I agree with USAFRET on most things. In this case on broadband internet he is right it is expensive you can look at $10/gig with a minimum cost of say $50 for 5g. But when you can get on a LTE network it is very fast. I get well over 30m/sec on ATT and about 18m on verizon but it does vary. Verizon has the best coverage because they started a year before ATT. You can get some tmobile LTE coverage...mostly where they purchased metro-cel towers. and Sprint has some small areas. Tmobile is quite a bit cheaper than att and verizon if you can get it to work. I am just hoping the costs comes down you really have to watch your usage to not get a big bill.

Now if you are outside the USA then you need to get either LTE or if nothing else HSPA+ anything other than that is painful to use.
