Best free wifi hock ups?

So I read this http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/phones/free-wifi
and I did not find the answer I was looking for so I am asking the question hear?

Basically I am using mobile broadband which gives me a data limit of about 3GB for about £15/ month and I have no access to a landline telephone line!
But I would like to download some movies files, but this is just not possible on my tariff


I read the above link and it says that you can not simply get the same free bandwidth wifi as you do with paid wifi from your home.
I mean I don't mind paying a small price for this download but I wont pay the price of mobile broadband for it

Any ideas please

    If you go for BT broadband you get access to BTfon all over the UK for free. Not sure about download limits with it though.

    That's not going to be an option.

    Upgrade your mobile plan to get many GIGs of data included or get a landline and broadband or find somewhere with free WIFI at a decent speed thats uncapped.

    No good spending £6 on a coffee and a biscuit if its going to take 4 hours to download your movie and they only allow 1% of your filesize per connection.
