I do live near you, at least I thought I did.  You still right down the
road in Decatur, right?  I'm over in Va-Highlands. 

Lots of things happen without hardware changing.  Things get old and
less reliable, not-100%-destructive power spikes happen, corrosion
builds on coax connectors, etc., etc.   I'm not doubting that you had a
problem.  I do doubt that everybody near you, including yourself, had a
problem that still exists and that comcast can't resolve.
