I interpret his statement as meaning "we could use quantum entanglement to transmit information at c (or c minus epsilon) instead of .66c".

But (as far as I understand) quantum entanglement doesn't let you transmit information at any particular speed, so that still doesn't work. (Roughly speaking, QE can be thought of as "the universe transmits information at >c", but in order to extract this information, we have to send messages conventionally. So it has a theoretical upper bound of c, like everything else, but has the same practical limits.)
