Are there different levels of security depending upon which method of Internet connectivity I choose?
• Yes. DSL and dial-up are direct connections between your computer and your service provider’s network. If you choose to purchase a high-speed cable connection (i.e. Comcast), you will be sharing your connection with any of your neighbors who have also purchased the service and so there is a chance for less security. Dial-in and DSL users are less susceptible to interception, because their traffic does not travel across a shared network before reaching the ISP’s main network. Wireless access is also less secure when you use a public wireless service like those found in cyber cafes.
