Here is one quick way to steal your information.

I will use my personal wifi at home (I'm in a rural area) and will use my cellphones 4G connection when out on a rotation. The 4G network is very fast. I can listen to a radio station, YouTube ... ok Xtube ..., and Facebook/email all at the same time. How much more bandwidth do you need?
What do you really do online that is so important anyway? Anything I do with personal info is behind https. Don't be so paranoid.
