If you're going to read the language non-sensically, why even bother to point to the text? Why not just make up whatever you want?

The numbering and the "and" clearly mean that one of the two endpoints must be "Comcast and its agents." The language is there to allow them to record customer service calls because otherwise in some states that would be a violation of wiretap consent laws.

I think this language could allow for Comcast to monitor any traffic passing through their proxies?

I agree that it seems to be worded to imply that it's just CS monitoring but I don't believe that `transmitted between` would necessitate that the party be the intended endpoint.
