It does not matter if you use WiFi or an Ethernet cable to connect the use of the PS3 on the internet is free, the internet is the same charge to you with or without a PS3.
To go and play online on your PS3 is free. The exception of course is that you do of course have to pay for an internet connection. Also certain online services on PS3 do cost money, such as netflix.
