I've never had a problem with this. The website mentioned before registers the mac address of the modem with comcast, not the mac address of the computer(s) behind it. I'm currently using an RCA modem. The modems should not clone mac addresses. The first portion of each mac address is a manufacturer code. So a device made by RCA would then seem to be using a 3com or intel or other mac address.
