The article named it - shared resources suck. "The situation arises when customers mix and match Comcast and AT&T U-Verse services, like Comcast High-Speed Internet and U-Verse TV. Outside of the home, the data travels over different wiring: copper coax for Comcast and twisted pair for AT&T's U-Verse. Inside the house, both services use the same coaxial wiring, which causes problems in some cases. According to sources close to the story, the issue stems from "feedback" from U-Verse that sometimes runs back upstream beyond the confines of the house and into Comcast's network, possibly due to the two services using similar frequencies or filters (like voice filters with DSL service) that aren't working properly. The feedback ends up degrading the network for everyone else on the node. Comcast lays the blame for the problem at the feet of AT&T's technicians, saying that it's due to poorly-installed U-verse service."
