I did that this past Friday, 9/2/05. 
Comcast arrived as scheduled, extended existing coax to where I needed 
it, and dropped off the self-install kit.  Once I connected my daughter's 
laptop to the modem (RCA DCM425C), and launched her browser, I was 
presented with a Comcast welcome screen, and instructed to "Click here" 
to install the Comcast software and configure my account.  Instead, I 
called Comcast and configured my account over the phone, and was online 
in about 15 minutes.  Once I had the Comcast HSI working fine, I 
installed a wireless router.

The other five roomies that ordered SBC dsl had the phone line installed 
on 9/2/05, but are still waiting for dsl.  The earliest ETA is 9/15/05.  
They have been using the Comcast HSI in the meantime.
