5x faster?....

Than what? I hate how these cable, whatever companies always say "So and so times faster than DSL". What kind of DSL? 768/128? Come on now, how far do these companies think everyone lives from the CO?

Cool that you can chill on the beach with WiFi though. I'd have to say I would prefer a Corona than checking my email (cue me throwing laptop into water, Corona-commercial style) lol

I'm within "Acceptable Distance" for DSL, yet the fastest DSL that can be delivered to this house is 384k. And it costs more that what I'm paying for my Comcast connection! Pass!

BTW, 6mbps / 5 = 1.2mbps.

Not everyone lives next door to the CO.

Long Beach has had something similar for a while downtown:
