Comcast / Xfinity definitely does this. I have gotten many 'suspicious activity' CAPTCHAs on popular websites while using my home internet because of this. The routers provided by Xfinity are very locked down so you can't do anything about it.

You can get a gigabit router for $100 that works on xfinity which is worth it over their gear. Which is typically sub optimal anyway.
