Thanks for your input.
Yes. If you block them from analytics then they would still be able to see your site, they just might not be counted by analytics in your stats.

Depending on how Comcast allocates IPs you might be able to block only certain local ranges as opposed to blocking everyone from Comcast.

You might consider using a static proxy to access your site for testing. Then block only that IP in Analytics and anytime you test, use that proxy. If you have a dedicated server, you could set up your own proxy to do this so that it would appear that the request is coming from your local server. This is pretty technical though. You'd likely need help from your host or a techie to set it up right.
