I'm looking for a way to get WiFi without being tied to a long-term contract or paying big name companies like Comcast or Verizon. Are there any good modems or services out there that offer this kind of flexibility?

You could check out some options like the Solis, but remember that most ISPs today are going contract-free. You can leave anytime and just need to return their equipment when you do. I've used AT&T Fiber and Spectrum, and both work this way. Are you looking for home WiFi, or do you need something more mobile?
If you're in the US, T-Mobile offers a contract-free internet service. You don't even have to rent their equipment—just return it when you're done. I was looking into them when I moved to a rural area, but I ended up finding a local provider that gave me gigabit speeds, which was a pleasant surprise.
You could buy your own WiFi router, which means no monthly fees tied to that. But keep in mind, you still need an ISP for internet access, which will involve some kind of agreement.
Yeah, it sounds like you want flexibility. Just a heads up, while WiFi can be free for short distances, connecting it to the internet usually means using an ISP and that does come at a cost.
