Is the friends house isolated or are there neighbours?
If so one of them may have a wifi signal that reaches.
You can't legally just latch on to it and they should have it password
protected anyway but if they are nice people it might be worth asking.
Might break the terms of the service provider but for a short use
unlikely to be noticed. Some providers allow this to be done anyway on
a reciprocal basis such as BT Internet customers ,recent ones have to
choose to opt out ,one time you opted in. In these cases you don't
even have to ask. Just log in using your own details.

Yes, it's amazing how many places I've been able to find free BT access
points. Fairly slow speed, though.
