Not correct.  If it's on one radio it's using the same RF space it was
before, just with a virtual SSID.  Just like the atheros or Ruckus stuff -
it's the same RF space with an additional BSSID bridged to a different
software bridge or pseudo interface.

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.
