As of when I left Comcast in March, this was not true. I had dealt
with tech support and they told me they no longer do this. I
subsequently switched computers (I got the connection working with my
laptop and its built-in NIC, and then switched to my firewall without
doing anything to mimic the MAC or what have you) with no difficulty.
