Do you have TV service from Comcast? If so, and you use some of the TV Everywhere apps (usually channel name with "Go" in it), then they will not work if you cancel that TV service.

If you didn't have TV, then just changing WiFi would be the main issue. Some services use your IP address to roughly geolocate you and could affect things such as proper local ads and "live" TV access if AT&T doesn't properly notify the various geolocation services of IP address locations.
