We had a Comcast SMC-D3G on Comcast Business. It's garbage. Once we pushed too many connections through it, it would crash and packet loss would skyrocket requiring a manual restart (unplug/replug). This is because it's also a very poor router that can't be changed to bridge-only. There's still plenty of these pieces of crap in the wild, and they also can't properly route ipv6.
If you're a business class customer that needs static ip's, you're stuck with Comcast hardware. Fortunately all my locations now can get away with dynamic ip's so we run our SB6121's (deprecated, but fine for 50/10 or 75/15 tiers).
The final bullshitty thing that's started in the past year is $100 per on-site visit if they can't prove the issue was caused by their network. I used careful wording there because if this is a peering/intermittent issue they'll come out next day just to pocket that charge and blame you.
