Re: Security with Cable Modem and ComCast?

That used to be a big problem with Pre-DOCSIS CMTS.

Now with DOCSIS all packets are encrypted back to the CMTS using BPI.

There are also cable filters in place on the CMTS.

This was always the case back when we had Adelphia. Then one morning when Time Warner did the cut over to there system and took control of the modems, instead of baseline privacy saying "Done" it said "Skipped"...I do not know what TW uses in place of BPI, but i always found it odd as to why they do not use it.

Sounds like something specific to your area and/or related to the switch from Adelphia to TW. My TW Division has Baseline Privacy enabled.

Or a PO'd employee that didn't want Time Warner "deleted that option" and no one @ TW has noticed it.
