This is also a laughable statement as Comcast (the provider in
question) has at least, DOCSIS 1.1 on all parts of their network, if
not newer than that.
The DOCSIS 1.1 specification has this capability (multiple service
flows). DOCSIS 1.1 is of April 1999 vintage.
rest of your post also questionable.
