DSL companies are a lot more friendly towards this. Of course residential
DSL connections are a lot of more expensive than cable. I find that a 6 meg
DSL connection where I live costs a lot more than Comcast cable modem.
6 meg service, with a static address costs $94.95 a month from
The New AT&T, where Comcast, which rates in excess of 10 megabits
are about $50 a month.

Be careful, for some reason, Comcast seems to have an odd policy
on servers now. I find that I serve my web page from my Comcast
account, but they block Tor nodes from accesing. If I try to access
through a Tor node, its blocked, but I can access through other
open proxies, I have no trouble making it work. Why would
Comcast block access to customers' residential accounts from anywhere
on Tor, but not from anywhere else? That seems odd that Comcast
would block incoming traffic from the Tor network, but not from
anywhere else.

I doubt you'll get any meaningful help until you cough up some
details.
