In general, how does Comcast treat customers who run their own web
and/or email site?  Without multiple IP addresses, running redundant
servers could be awkward.  Still, fewer global IP addresses equals
cheaper service.  I'm on DSL, but it is painfully slow in my opinion
compared to cable.  The phone service is expensive enough that it might
make sense to switch to Comcast triple play even at the normal
price, whatever that is.  I don't know if Comcast is much better than
CenturyLink considering that Comcast advertises the initial as opposed
to the long term cost.  Yes you are looking at $35+ a month for
telephone service alone with CenturyLink, but at $30/month per service
from Comcast where that price is limited may not be much better.  I wish
FiOS was available in Columbia County.

In my case, switching from DSL to Cable may not make sense.  Dropping
the DSL speed down and supplementing with cable might.  I'm thinking
keep DSL but at a lower speed for my web/email site and use Comcast
cable for my own web browsing.  At least in the short run, it would 
make sense to have both (while the cable is still cheap).

I'm simply curious what people are doing.  For that matter, has Linux
support for satellite based Internet improved?  I'm thinking dual
direction satellite, not the kind where you use your telephone and
receive via dish.
