Not sure it's related, but there was a post on Ars Technica last night:

I had very good Comcast service for two years in Waltham, and then one 
summer they transitioned from QPSK to 16-QAM for upstream modulation, and 
it killed my service for about 6 weeks.  After a few dozen phone calls, I 
cornered a plant tech out on the street in front of my house, and he gave 
me the scoop on what was happening.  The call center tech support people 
had no clue, as usual.
