How secure is WiFi at a B&B or McD's, etc? Back in the day, I occasionally used unlocked "neighbor's" WiFi, but I read that it was not secure. At the time, I didn't keep much on my computer that could be stolen. Not so sure about that now.
They aren’t very secure, but you can use a quality VPN to protect yourself. Don’t use a free one. You get what you pay for.
Connectivity worries are pretty much a thing of the past.
Well, "unlimited and fast" are pretty tough criteria for judging "connectivity." You will have trouble finding "connectivity" many places in the US and the world if that is your definition. Kind of a first world problem, actually. For me, "connectivity" means I can send and receive normal email, maybe browse reuters.com and news.google.com and (joy of joys!) download this week's Economist magazine to my tablet.Not so fast! We moved to country home on the fringes of a metroplex and there are very few options for true unlimited AND fast Internet. ...
Yeah. I'm watching that for a different reason; the availability (albeit with difficulty) of uncensored and maybe unjammable internet in walled-off dictatorships could be a world-changer.For more then one residence I'm hearing lots of buzz for Starlink, they are launching satellites constantly and expanding the service area...

We have unlimited data plans. We use our personal hotspot on our cell phones to connect tablets, laptops, etc...... Works a bit slower but still works
We have Verizon FIOS at our primary home, Xfinity for our Jersey Shore home, and our Florida condo building has a dedicated fiber optic setup for the 240 or so condos. The condo owners paid for the fiber optic lines for a few years, but now is a minimal cost.
