Have your new employer pay for a T-Mobile WiFi account, and go sit in the nearest Starbucks.
I use a Sprint wireless broadband modem, which is running about $50/month with taxes and fees. By comparison, I think T-Mobile unlimited accounts are $40/month.
The only reason I don't use T-Mobile WiFi is that I'm usually situated in places that don't have a hot spot.
Alternately, pay for a Starbucks Gold card (available in any Starbucks - you may have to ask). There's a membership fee, but once you register the card on their website, you get 2 free hours a day of WiFi at any Starbucks.
I know they're horribly yuppieish, but Starbucks (a) are everywhere, (b) are usually reasonably comfortable, and (c) always have chocolate on hand.
