It would still be a violation of the terms of service for Comcast, and if
the DSL account is also a residential account, it probably would be a
violation of their term of service as well.
Nothing like screwing two companies with more lawyers than people in some
small cities, and then having to deal with tenants who demand that the
Internet service continue. It would be so much fun for him to be in the
middle of that. How could one resist such an opportunity?

It doesn't take much to beat a T1, more properly called DS1. A DS1 runs at
a max of 1.544 Mb/s. ADSL and cable modems routinely exceed that for
downloads. For example, my cable modem runs at 5 Mb/s (800K up) and I have
often seen close to that in practice.

this application it would be considered a bulk residential account,
and, while still cheaper than setting up individual accounts for all
the tennants, will be much more. I know Comcast offers such a service,
usually bundling tv service as well, but I have no idea how much it is,
and I'm sure it requires a contract.

They can always use a splitter on one connection.

This really doesn't matter. The cable into the house has plenty
of bandwidth, more than you'll get out of a single connection. It's
possible to hook two different modems up to common cabling in a single
household.
All the cable company cares about is that they recognize the MAC
address of the modem, it's possible to move it to a completely different
house serviced by the same company and get service. This is without
changing your "address" as far as they know. I've take a modem to a
location several miles away in the same city, plugged it on a cable from
the same provider and fired it up, no problems, as long as there are no
signal/quality issues on the cabling.
So, why not order service at your address and your neighbor's
then stick both modems in one house if they need to be located together?
