Seems likely a neighborhood where one person had Comcast would have other people using Comcast too. The point is not to cheat a neighbor, but to keep it ambiguous who is providing the anonymity services so that if things turned ugly, everyone could be insulated from liability. Not that things are that bad in the US, yet, but it doesn't seem so far fetched it could get that way. (I could see randomizing the MACs every so often wouldn't hurt.)
