Thought I'd chime in here. I used to do this a few years back. The Starbucks tend to have the most reliable wifi service. Telus offers unlimited wifi for $25 a month and you can roam to the Bell wifi locations. (This covers off both Starbucks and Second cup) I hear that if you have a Starbucks card and register it, you can get the wifi there for free.

I used to mostly use Starbucks. When I did this, I'd buy a large coffee or tea (< $2) and drink it slowly, and would usually limit my visit to 2 hours. Some restaurants claim to offer free wifi access, but I've found them to be unreliable.

EDIT: The Starbucks down at Wilow Park or at Glenmore Park are the best for doing this. The one at Brittania is too crowded. Not sure what cell data charges are like these days, when I was doing this a couple of years back, it was way cheaper to just pay wifi fees.
