Comcast has been rolling an advertising campaign in the Portland area offering special deals until the 19th; my assumption is that it's closely related to when the switch gets flipped.
At least where I am around Portland, we had a 6 hour outage early Monday morning that was followed by my modem being allocated to a new frequency and IP address. Clearly they just replaced some head-end gear (at the local node or what, I'm not sure) so it doesn't seem that they're quite done.
