Dump Comcast at the soonest opportunity.
There may be more options than you realize that avoid having to deal with the cable company and have no potential for interference to/from the amateur station.
I recently bought a house here (near St. George Utah). There is no cable in my neighborhood so at first it appeared that the only option was DSL (via the telephone line) at 3 Mbps for $50/month.
But a quick Internet search found three local companies that offer "Fixed Wireless" Internet service. This is where they beam the Internet to you via microwave from stations on nearby mountains. Costs range from $40 to $200/month for 25 to 300 Mbps.
I had a similar setup back at my house in California that had no DSL or cable available in the neighborhood. Once I got the antenna properly located it worked reliably and of course there was no QRM to/from the HF/2 meter ham gear.
