I concur with this summary and will add this:
It's a pity that the resources which went into this rollout were not
instead applied to deal with a problem that's now a decade old: large-scale
spamming sourced from botted systems on Comcast's network. Despite
Comcast's "we take the spam problem seriously" statements circa 2004,
spam continues to flow from Comcast-operated networks at a high rate...
as it has for ten years. See, for reference:

I wonder how this change will affect that problem.
