Of course it includes "cable" - it's Cable Internet.

If you're trying to imply that it includes Cable TV or cable anything else
at that price, then you are mistaken.  It clearly says that the price is
$105 "as part of Comcast's Triple Play bundle", which means that you must
also subscribe (and pay for) Comcast TV and Comcast Voice (phone) services
in order to get that price.  Without also paying for TV/Voice the price will
be higher.

And remember, given that this is the price for a home plan, it's still
limited to 250GB per month, which is what, about an hours worth of downloads
at 105Mbps?

  Scott.
