No what? No, you don't get prefered treatment? Well, maybe you have a
lousy sales rep.
No, business phone service is somehow better than residental? Nope, it
is the same POTS you get at home.
No, if you sleep at home, it is not residental? Everything I've heard
is that if you get a cablemodem in your house, it is not business
service, and no one will care if you use it to work at home once in a
while.
FWIW, Comcast business service doesn't allow use of public facing
servers, reselling, or anything the residental service doesn't allow. I
think you get more e-mail accounts and maybe a DNS/hosting service.
Please be more specific than just posting "No"

I looked yesterday and Comcast apparently has three plans.
http://www.comcast-ne.com/business/internet.html
Lite, standard, or enhanced.
The first is good for telecommuters.
The second is for branch offices.
The last is for a public-facing, home business.*
*Personally for the money ($160+4), a good web-hosting plan would be
better.

Phone and cable is a service. Residential is a term they use to market
one level of that service. Just because you sleep in a house doesn't
mean the service that you want there will be called "residence service".
If you want a static IP here from the cable guys, you get to pay for a
business account and they call it that. It just happens to be delivered
to a house.

Over the years, I've known a couple of people who'd sleep at work. ;-)
