I believe that the wires to all of your outlets are not tied together where the Telco enters the house. If they were, and you had a short, nothing would work. Check at the box ( may be outside or in garage) where the wiring to all of the outlets appear to see if they are bridged together. Was Comcast supposed to activate all outlets?
