Is it possible to connect an ipad to the internet via an ethernet connection only?
I often work in locations where there is internet access but no wireless nor cellular connectivity. I am considering purchasing a new ipad because of it's facetime feature, but if I can't connect it to ethernet it may not be reasonable.

Best AnswerNo,
The New iPad does not have any physical ethernet connection or adapter to suit a wired connection. WiFi or Cellular data is the only 2 ways The New iPad can connect to the internet. An Airport Express can create a quick Wi-Fi hotspot using your ethernet cable.- Answered by Ivan P from Woodside

AnswerYes, you can use the internet at any "hot spot" without any contract. If you visit Starbucks, you'll see the place loaded with "freeloaders". Some libraries also offer hot spot availability. -R-

Best AnswerNo.
You can choose whether to turn on the data plan. There is no contract associated with your plan so you can turn it on for one month and not for the next. Hope this helps. This is all managed via your iPad through an interface provided by your data provider.- Answered by Jorge L from San Francisco

AnswerYes, you can use the iPad on WiFi.
Or you can even use the iPad with no data connection… load any needed apps from your iTunes computer and go. But with no data connection (cel or wifi) your iPad is limited to local functions eg: games- Answered by Stephen W from Nashville
