Cloudflare states the same thing. In fact, Cloudflare provides much more detail than Comcast/Xfinity [0]. And, personally, I actually believe Cloudflare.

If I have to choose between the two companies it's a no brainer. This is Cloudflare's business, and their business relies on them upholding their privacy promise. Comcast/Xfinity has, in the past, engaged in DNS hijacking [1]. Comcast has had the worst ACSI score over all other businesses in the US more than once and consistently ranks very low [2]. Comcast won the worst company in America in 2014 by the Consumerist [3]. Comcast has intentionally deceived it's customers as we understand due to lawsuits [4].

I'm not sure what sort of jaded world we live in if one can say Comcast/Xfinity is a "safe harbor amidst the rest" with mountains of public information stating the complete opposite.
