One option you didn't mention: with the newer iPhones, and I am sure with other smart phones as well, you can use your phone as a wireless hub. In other words, your computer does a wireless link to your phone and piggybacks on your phone's wireless data links. This may be feasible if you have the phone, with good service, with a data plan that allows high volumes of data.
