Could be worse, comcast actually hunts down people running hosts behind a
natbox of whatever form as they want you to buy their "premium" service.  I
guess they look for *abnormal* amounts of concurrent tcp sessions or
something, but im not really positive.  Victor is right though, @home (now
cox hsi) has always charged for additional ip address allocations with a max
of 5, nothing new.

That's been the case for the two years since
I started Cox@Home.  If you have multiple IPs
visible to the cable, then Cox charges you
$6.95 for the extra ones -- I think they allow
a total of three IPs.  Of course if you use
NAT then they don't see the difference,
