I'd been told what you were too, only to learn when it came time to 
activate my own modem that *any* static IP plan requires using Comcast's 
modem.

So I'm forced to pay them $13/mo extra, on top of their $20/mo static IP 
fee, instead of using the perfectly-good SB6141 gathering dust on my shelf.
