Problem with Installing Wi-Fi Driver on Debian

I have just downloaded Debian Live onto my USB. Currently, I am unable to connect to the internet in Debian. I am trying to install the driver for my Broadcom BCM4360 chip according to instructions from https://wiki.debian.org/wl. However, I am having a problem with the apt-get update step. When I run it, I get this:
Err http://http.debian.net jessie InRelease
Err http://security.debian.org jessie/updates InRelease
Err http://security.debian.org jessie/updates Release.gpg
Could not resolve 'security.debian.org'
Err http://http.debian.net jessie Release.gpg
Could not resolve 'http.debian.net'
Reading package lists... Done
W: Failed to fetch http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/jessie/InRelease

W: Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/jessie/updates/Release.gpg

W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Is it possible to run apt-get-update without an internet connection?

No, you cannot update your repos' database fetching the new ones' content from the Internet, without having an Internet Connection. You could update it only from a local device (i.e. cd-rom).
It's not a matter of apt-get that you can workaround with aptitude. You just need an Internet connection.
If you don't have one nor can in any way solve this issue (for example with usb tethering and a phone), then use another device to download the packages you need and its dependencies from a mirror in .deb format and install them with dpkg.
For example
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/broadcom-sta-dkms
will let you download what you need for your version and tell you wich are dependencies.
