Actually AboveNet seems to peer with Comcast:
5. xe-1-1-0.er2.iad10.above.net
0.0% 53 5.8 6.4 5.7 31.9 3.7
6. above-comcast.iad10.us.above.net
0.0% 53 6.4 6.4 6.1 6.7 0.1
7. pos-3-12-0-0-cr01.ashburn.va.ibone.comcast.net 0.0%
53 6.3 6.4 6.2 6.6 0.1
But Cablevision in New York is in fact another example of this problem:
4. dstswr1-ge3-12.rh.nyk4ny.cv.net
0.0% 78 17.8 41.2 15.0 242.9 33.5

6. ???
