Caution: comcast-- has a habit of giving out 'static' IP addresses that 
they then change. 3 times in 2 years on a 'business' class account. 
Without warning.

Caution: comcast-- has a habit of giving out 'static' addresses from 
known dynamic netblocks

Caution: getting hold of a comcast-- network person who is even vaguely 
knowledgable about networking in general, let alone about their own 
environment is a herculean task.

On the other hand, comcast++ is cheap and fast. When it works. And so 
long as you don't need anything interesting, like say, reverse DNS(!). 
And you don't mind their caching/proxying.
