My thought was my cable Internet service is shared with about 60-100 of my neighbors. Wouldn't any of my neighbors on our shared Comcast cable node be able to listen into my VOIP calls? -- "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use."

Some do and some don't. You should call them and ask. Keep in mind that encrypted VOIP calls lose the encryption once they reach the PSTN.

If you read this thread, you'll see my provider has posted and indicated there is no security for my VOIP content. »Re: Excellent!! -- "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use."

True, but again, the PSTN is regulated, and in the pre-Bush world, it was very hard to get access to the data going across it. Sadly this is not the case as much anymore.
