Thanks for that info! I live in a somewhat rural area (central NY) and my Town is in the process of rolling out its own municipal broadband. They are relying on grants to continue the rollout of service.

I've brought this to their attention, a neighboring ISP has fed false data and it could potentially be harming their options for funding.

In that context, it's really hard not to see this as intentional. Be aware that only the challenged address must be fixed, so (after the 2 week update period) you might want to randomly sample some addresses in town to challenge as well.

Consider reaching out to Jon Brodkin (journalist who has been covering this for Ars Technica). It sounds like Comcast was just going to get away with this until Brodkin shined a spotlight on it.
