Nothing
Wifi runa at 54Mbps, you are unlikely t get a broadband connection faster than 8Mbps, so (assuming a good signal) WiFi will not be the limiting factor.
If you have no phone line, then you can't use a wireless router (nowhere to plug it in!).
Assuming that you connect via their WiFi (your post is not very clear) you will just need a wireless adaptor. If you have a modern laptop, it will already have one built in. If not you'll need one of these: http://tinyurl.com/ylmtgv9
