Yeah, I'm kinda surprised myself that they did anything on the ham bands at all; I would have expected them to stay out of anything that could interfere with us. For instance, I just logged into my Spectrum-provided cable modem and the closest they seem to get to the ham bands around here is 17.8MHz and 24.2MHz on the uplink. And considering where I live, I would have expected my operation to have interfered with someone's internet already if it was going to. (I do 100W *max* into a roof-mounted MFJ magloop, but typically ~50W just to be safe.)
