Howdy, I�ve got both a DSL connection with Verizon in my office and a Comcast cable connection at home. They are pretty much the same.
Comcast has in the past been anal about multiple computers using the same account. I don�t know if this is still true, but I didn�t bother to ask them either. I know they charged my brother for an additional IP address. I just installed a wireless router for home. Set up is a no problem (Verizon or Comcast), but as someone mentioned, the techs don�t know anything about Macs. I was told (Comcast) that you had to be running OS 9 in order to install the modem. No such thing. OS 8.6 would have been fine. Yes, an Ethernet modem would be my preference too. I really don�t think it makes that much difference what brand you get. I�ve had modems from all kinds of companies and they all work. Some just take a little persuasion. Check out what modem Comcast will rent you for their monthly fee and buy it on the net. Then you�re sure to be okay. Good luck!
