You have jumped to the conclusion that a customer of the cable company is not multi-homed. Bad assumption. I can tell you that there are multihomed customers behind what you would normally think of as a cable company.
I'm not sure I did jump to that conclusion, and most (all?) of the prefixes I looked at (quickly as they scrolled) had an originating ASN of 18665 or whichever was covad. Either way, that would account for a few, not all, of their deaggregated routes.

Of these listed 4 are cable companies, is there something in the cable modem networking that requires deaggregated routes beyond their borders? Is the problem that they might have seperate 'networks' for their regional parts and leak more specifics for these parts along with 'backup' routes via aggregates?
