Wow! Doesn't seem to make sense... so they believe that by shutting down your home internet that you will stop operating your station which allegedly is causing the interference? 

Or do they believe that by the sheer fact that Xfinity is connected to your home that your station is causing harmful interference which is being transmitted directly into your home box? 

I'm gonna follow this one closely.

 Cameras?  Any ID card from him?
Intolerable from any company, let alone your provider.
