Re: Cable Vs. DSL

["Paris Stone" <paris () ciscoinstructor com>]

This used to be the case.  Most Cable providers realized the error in their way,
and changed their networks to prevent the 'broadcast medium' issues.  I believe

evolution about 1 year ago.  Ever since I can't play with my neighbors data and
vice-versa.
