No... a contingency is between the buyer and the seller. It just gives the buyer an out if certain things don't happen. It doesn't give Comcast any obligations in the matter.
Comcast could be held accountable for other reasons, but not by a contingency.
That was my point. There's no way to force Comcast to serve them, but they could have gotten out of the purchase.

Might be a good idea for the next house.
Fair enough. I'm not a lawyer. Just throwing out ideas.
Your idea is worth investigation. A contingency would not help with a suit. It would have helped in avoiding the purchase altogether, but that's another matter.
