Your reading comprehension could use some work:

"The latest device (called an XB3, see http://corporate.comcast.com/comcast-voices/the-technology-behind-the-industrys-fastest-wireless-gateway) does have multiple radios"

So, knowing the house is on fire, you bring a can of gas to put it out. You aren't f'ing helping.

Of course, since Comcast didn't spring for separate radios, it'll be riding what ever channel the customer's WiFi is using. Thus, interfering with *their* use of WiFi.
