Sammy.... I would venture to say that most folks with high speed internet who have more than one computer/laptop/ipad/etc have WiFi inside their house/villa.

All you need (for Comcast) is the cable modem to take the signal out of the wall and a router to broadcast WiFi throughout your house.

But, if you're asking if "free" WiFi is available in the neighborhoods (without having to pay Comcast/Embarq for high speed internet) then the answer is no. You might be able to pick up an unsecured WiFi network signal from a neighbor and piggyback off of it, but, performance probably isn't that great and you can't rely on them to keep the signal on.
