Comcast in the Philadelphia market seems to be plenty friendly to all 
major platforms and a few minor ones too.  I was on it for about 9 months 
when I first got into town and had no problems connecting my menagerie of 
oddball equipment to their service.

Though I am now on RCN.  I'm telling you, if RCN ever offers broadband in 
the Triangle, jump on it.  The service is great.  Very reliable.  Fast 
news server.  For an extra $20 a month you get a static IP plus unfiltered 
ports (yes, you can run servers with this service upgrade) and more 
bandwidth.  I'm getting about 5Mbps down and 800K up, but sometimes it 
seems like I can get as much as 8Mbps though I am only guaranteed the 5 
(and usually do get 5Mbps down on a well connected server).
