As the others have also said. 
I have used a cable modem to connect to Comcast and its predecessors for 10 
years, all of which have had at least 1 Linux system on my LAN at home.
The only problem with Comcast and Linux is that when you talks to a support 
person they ask about Windows. 
I use a Linksys wireless router for my in-home network.
The cable modem uses a Cat-5 connection that is standard ethernet. Some 
cable modems also have USB. Don't use the USB.
