I have internet service that is not wireless. What is the easiest and most convenient way to change my existing service to wireless internet? Will I have to have the internet service provider to come to my home to set it up?

Find a neighbor who has wireless, and leech it off of them by sitting near their house.

Depending on where you live and what ISP's are in your area - there should be several plans to choose from. Of course, the cheapest will be the slowest.
Many ISP's will supply you with a wireless modem/router combination that will allow you to set it up quickly.
Check with your phone company/cable provider.
The best deals are found online.

Do you have a cell phone? Easiest way is to ask your phone company to extend your service. You have to google to compare prices.

You can try the library. Certain restaurants and fast food places have free wifi.
I used to go to Whataburger. A lot of them have free Wifi!

Search to see if you neighors left their network unprotected.
