So, if my cable and my internet run over the same wires, since they're from the same company, why does my internet go out and not my cable or vice versa?

Oddly enough, an hour ago I discovered that my internet (AT&T "U-Verse" but it's basically DSL) was out, and didn't return with a reboot...and when I went to call it in, discovered the problem: oh look, no dial tone. (By the time my cell-phone call got to the top of the queue, it was restored.) OTOH, we do get "broadband" drops once in a while without losing phone service, so this isn't unique to cable.
