> Comcast peering

Make sure you recognize the difference between BGP peering, versus 
supporting BGP on a transit connection.
I'm doubtful on Comcast's willingness to peer with small providers at small 
traffic levels. (allthough not to long ago, I seem to remember they were 
offering paid peering for $2/mb paid to them, almost anyone qualifying. But 
paying for peering kind of defeats the purpose, when transit can be bought 
for under $2 /mb now.)

BUT... peeringdb.com lists Comcast as "OPEN"
