Not so sure about that…

240.59.103.76.in-addr.arpa. 7200 IN	PTR	c-76-103-59-240.hsd1.ca.comcast.net.

is most definitely a business class service from Comcast. Seems to match the entry for 24.7.48.153 pretty closely.

I think the difference is the type of cable network in the particular area. HFC is Hybrid Fiber Coax. The network in San Jose doesn’t really have any fiber, so it’s likely not an HFC network. I’m not sure what HSD stands for other than possibly “High Speed Data”, but I suspect it’s more likely some cable-specific term for an all-copper alternative to HFC.
