"Cable's Network Neighborhood"
Cable modem service uses a shared cable line to provide service to an entire neighborhood.  Essentially, all cable customers in the region belong to the same local area network (LAN). Without any security measures in place, anybody in the neighborhood might technically be able to click on their Windows Network Neighborhood icon and actually see the computer names and addresses of their neighbors on the service. If a customer enables file sharing on any drives, neighbors could even download copies of their data!

Although some cable customers encountered this problem in the past, many providers avoid this problem today by bundling security features in the cable modem hardware. In particular, basic network firewall capabilities will prevent files from being viewed or downloaded. Most cable modems today also implement the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS).  DOCSIS includes support for cable network security features including authentication and packet filtering.

DSL uses dedicated rather than shared cabling, and DSL customers in a given neighborhood do not appear as nodes on a LAN. From this, many have concluded DSL service provides better security.  However, this argument is at best an oversimplified one."  source: About.com: Computer Networking
