Well you have every right to be pissed. Frankly, I'd simply run another
length of CAT5, dig a shallow trench to hide it if you'd like.

Unfortunately I'm not surprised by comcast. The local cable company in
my area (Rogers) once did something similar to a friend of mine. For the
longest time the cable company has tried to convince people they MUST
pay for each and every outlet in the home, whether it's used or not.
Nobody pays though, and there's nothing the cable company can do about
it. A Rogers technician came over to my friends house to install a cable
modem. He went downstairs, found the end that went to the home office,
and proceeded to cut the end off every other run of cable... My friend
was NOT impressed.
