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.
