It is not uncommon for higher performance modems to incur additional delay due to more complex encoding required to achieve acceptable bit error rates. I don't know if this applies to your cable modem or not. If it is possible to put the cable modem into a mode that runs at a lower speed, then you could test this hypothesis, testing with short packets.
It is also possible that the firmware in the modem or Comcast's routers has changed, etc...
It is also possible that other network traffic is causing buffers to fill up and this adds to the time your ping packets spend in queue.
...
You will need a much lower latency connection if you plan to do high frequency stock trading or serious gaming. :-)
