There may be more leakage coming from the 100v signals used in the phone lines and some people are far more sensitive to others so I wouldn't discount it having an effect.
100v in a phone line??

Also when did you find 100 cable modems inside a lockbox, let alone 1? All network equipment is shielded, the only area you may see egress is at a tap port but thats not going to emit enough energy to move oxygen... let alone fry your brain cells.

Also, a cable modem may transmit at up to 13mW, but it doesnt broadcast, so your theory isnt valid.
