Re: FW: Cable Vs. DSL

["crawford charles" <biv0uac17 () hotmail com>]

Pretty open-ended.  It depends a lot on what the POP and cable head-end look 
like.
Cable has a shared LAN at the local subscriber end (just for fun, see how 
many of
your cable neighbors have open shares ;-)
DSL is point-to-point all the way up to the local office.
Once you reach the termination point, the two are subject to the same 
architectural
constraints: a switched LAN, ATM fabric, shared LAN, gawd-knows what.
Based on that, you could say DSL is marginally more secure, but the 
difference may be teeny.
