can you get wi fi without a fixed landline (in france e.u)?

Question

in order to get the internet installed or rather access to the internet you need a phoneline (unless i am mistaken) so you need a landline. In order to have a landline installed you need the means with which to pay for the phoneline(by tradition this is in the form of a bank account with a 'direct debit' system. Ok all logical and sensible. However in order to have a bank account you need to have proof of income in the form of salary checks etc etc. Now, if you dont have salary checks, live in france, and dont have a French bank account (but have the means to pay for goods and services, by which i mean a credit card) you dont have the possibility of having a phone line installed. SO the question is firstly can i get the internet with just my credit card in other words can i pay for a wi fi service with my credit card, (if such a service exists for people who dont have a fixed phone line)
Secondly, do i need a special wifi computer to use wifi or do i need to buy a usb adaptor etc???

Answer 1

You are on the right path, if Wi Fi is available over there then yes get yourself a 10db or higher usb card and snag someones wireless Internet. I do it here, people leave their wireless unsecure and I piggy back. I dint do anything illegal on there network I just take the free wireless and they never know. Make sure to use a firewall to hide yourself while on there network.

Answer 2

WiFi has very limited range -- typically less than 100 meters -- so it's not going to do what you want to do. If you have the means to pay for WiFi, you must have the means to open a bank account with a cash deposit. Then get your phone line put it.
