    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.
