For the record, comcast was transparent proxying Ann Arbor for approx three days at the start of Jan. The servers were *really* broken (i.e. all ports but 80 worked tolerably well for me, things like cnn.com and etrade were inaccessible without setting up a public non-comcast proxy), a trip to the dsl reports forum and a look at my logs verifies this. The proxies are off for now in A^2, but comcast has been unwilling/unable to confirm their existence when I asked, and there is no assurance that they will not be turned back on.
An amusing sidenote: I played around with my proxied web awhile, many anti-comcast sites were loading *really* fast (i.e. were cached)...
...they also have some issues with monitoring software included on their transition cd (at least for those users who recieved an unbroken one), but that's another story. Too bat it just wouldn't install on my linux box;-)
