I've noticed that the 11greatoaks.ca.ibone.comcast.net router(s) (Equinix SV1) are typically the ones that fail / have large latency issues. Hopefully if this has happened then they've increased overall capacity through this bottleneck.

You're seeing this because that's where Comcast primarily buys transit and peers with other networks; those edges are where the congested ports are. They generally have plenty of capacity between SV1 and their CMTSes (even if they have to take you from Oakland to Sac-town to get from SF to San Jose).

Comcast has been horribly congested in the SFBA for months.

I believe they've been looking at offloading that congestion and frankly moving Netflix is a no brainer.
