i suggest you take a class on how the internet works, because this statement is flat out wrong. sega is NOT in 100% control of what traffic gets out of comcast or level 3. sega doesn't have any control over what traffic reaches their network, only what traffic they will discard once it actually reaches their network.
This was confirmed last maintenance when twc users were allowed to access the site and servers. If you don't know already both Comcast and twc both use the same exact backbone provider.
that didn't confirm anything. the only thing that it confirmed was that twc fixed their routing issues.
as far as using "the same exact backbone provider" goes, this is only partially true. comcast uses level3 exclusively. time warner signed on with level 3 to expand their own infrastructure. look at this tracert from a twc customer:

note that it doesn't go through level 3's network at all. comcast however doesn't have the capability to do this, so they are still dead in the water.
