Folks, A number of people have been asking about cable modem security. Most cable modem products I am aware of perform MAC layer encryption which would presumably alleviate some of peoples concerns but not all. Certainly for all the most recent DOCSIS compliant modems (see www.cablemodem.com) pretty much mandate encryption. Probably if you ask your service provider they will be able to verify what the nature of that encryption is. There has been a fair amount of bad mouthing of Cable modems by operators deploying ADSL solutions so don't believe the hype.
