Thank you. Very interesting story and useful info.
I'm also curious about the signal generated from customers from MoCA (multimedia over coax) devices. How many neighbors would be sharing the same coax medium?

Does anybody have a guess? I'm guessing neighbors that are connected by the same drop amp would essentially be on the same wire. I would really appreciate any info.

Thank you.

I can't speak to what they are *supposed* to do, but my experience is that things can be overheard. Last summer I discovered that my Comcast cable had two premium digital channels I hadn't ordered. One was showing soft porn, and while I was sitting there pondering this, it began to fast forward. Not surprisingly, it was fast forwarding over the boring parts and then watching the naughty bits at normal speed. I can only assume that one of the neighboring houses has video-on-demand.
