I need to be at a residence that has no internet connection, for a week. How can I get internet connection for cheap? MiFi 3g/4g all seem to require atleast $100 worth of device to be purchased first. This is just one time that I need connection in a house which is vacant, so no phone no internet. what are my options? I have a simple phone w/o data /internet capability. TIA
need it at house, can't go to starbucks etc, since need to work from home.

Encrypted WiFi only protects a local network. It does not protect your Internet connection. Anybody who makes you think so is uninformed.
VPN is still a good idea. That way you don't know where people are going, what they are logging into etc. Especially over say an open wifi connection you can learn a ton about your neighbor by listening for traffic of others.

Go to mcdonalds and buy a coffee and use their internet. It is only a week.
You people have been arguing about it for almost a week now. Did the OP find a solution, or is that why he hasn't come back yet to check on his thread?
I always argue against unnecessary security paranoia. Encrypting the first network link of a public network connection is pretty stupid, unless you also use a LAN.
