Yes, they do. You can find more information here:

Although, I'm sufficiently disappointed with Comcast's Business Cable
service. I have had them since 6-NOV-2008 and they took 4 months and 1
week to fix a cabling problem at the head-end for my business Internet.
Apparently the head-end was wired wrong in regards to how power was
supplied to it. I had nothing but dropped packets and latency (400-500
MS, sometimes 1200 MS) problems. I lost so much business. I tried
multiple times to speak with a manager but they would only pick up their
phone after I sat for 30 minutes with the phone, pressing the redial key
and placed 60 calls to them. I had to call their corporate office and
file a complaint. I am still having dropped packet issues.
Comcast support also had the nerve to say it was my equipment and that I
should immediately disconnect everything. Remind me again how is it my
problem with *MY* equipment when the modem takes 25 minutes to sync/lock
on the upstream channel?
I would *highly* recommend a T1 or partial T3. While they are more
expensive and highly reliable, AT&T or other major telcos will fix the
problem within a reasonable SLA. Comcast does NOT have a SLA. It took 4
months to fix my problems on a business account.
A Very Unhappy Comcast Customer,
Ryan Krenzischek
