Ahh! But you see it ain't "all you can eat" or rather, "use as much bandwidth as you want as we don't throttle you at all." I recently signed up for Comcast and had it installed. I get some really nice download speeds, would be surprised if the download has a cap on it. However, upload is definetly throttled, stops at about 250 kbps.
It is, Comcast has a rate limit of 1.8mbit/.3mbit pretty much across the board. As for the NAT arguement, AT&T (now Comcast) has been advertising the Linksys WAP's for all your wireless+NAT needs, they'll even sell it to you, and install it for you. AT&T/Comcast doesn't sell business accounts (at least not here) but they will now sell you a more expensive package, 3.5Mbit/384kbit, for $95/mo, including 'model rental fee', it includes 5 IP addresses "VPN Capability"(?) as well. Of course, you can get that down to $85/mo if you have cable or phone service through them.
