Quick suggestion.
The wire they cut wasn't in fact for internet sharing.
It was so you and the guy next door could kill each other playing quake 
3 arena.
Comcast now owes you a new cable and a *very* humble apology.

Alternately
You and your neighbour both being responsible computer geeks use that 
cable to store backup data for the other. (off site backup) the wanton 
destruction of your property has caused irreparable damage to your 
business as it corrupted the backups you depend on just when you 
happened to need it.

There are "pre-n" wireless cards out now which are meant to be good for 
gbit ;->
