I don't understand about the captive portal. Do you really think they don't want you on their network with a router?
The fact that their motives are unclear would be a good argument in your favor in case you were in court. Note that there wasn't any doubts about MIT's motives. Aaron isn't an idiot and he knew they were trying to keep him off the network.

Do you know what a captive portal is or something?
Comcast is preventing me from accessing their network unless I install their client side software. I am circumventing the technical measure in place to enforce this demand by changing my MAC address such that they think I have their software installed.
Am I in violation of their ToS for doing this? The hell if I know, but it seems entirely plausible.
