How's that? My Residential package is $42/mo. According to
http://www.comcast.com/business/WorkplaceProducts.ashx
Comcast Workplace - Standard
* Connection Speeds up to 6 Mbps/768 Kbps
* Static IPs optional (and presumably $$$)
# Monthly service charge: $95.00 (includes equipment)
# Standard professional installation: $250.00
# Requires a one year contract
Comcast Workplace - Enhanced
* Connection Speeds up to 8 Mbps/1 Mbps
* Static IPs optional (and presumably $$$)
# Monthly service charge: $160.00 (includes equipment)
# Standard professional installation: $250.00
# One year contract term required
Comcast Workplace - Lite
* Connection Speeds up to 4 Mbps/384 Kbps
* Static IPs NOT even optional
# Monthly service charge: $60.00 (includes equipment)
# Standard professional installation: $250.00
# Requires a one year contract
As I've said before, Comcast seems to be incapable of running a large
DNS setup, so even if they claim to set up reverse IPs for you, I'd
worry. I've also hear that the "business" class IPAs are in the same
ranges as the residential IPAs, and will thus be constantly getting
blocked by various black-hole lists as Residential machines in your
subnet block are naughty.

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
