Last I heard (heard from comcast) is that they do not block vpn traffic
but do monitor.  If you do use it all the time, they request that you
purchase the business service.    Not sure what they will do if you
refuse.

  Comcast used to have an AUP that banned VPN traffic on
their home service.  Have they ever rescinded that?

Has any else noticed that Comcast seems to have
started to block ipsec traffic this morning around
10AM EDT? A number of our home VPN users experienced
complete loss of connectivity around this time. I just
wanted to see if anyone else noticed the same behavior today... We 
just changed our configuration to work around the problem.
