>How does having Cable or DSL make you more volnurable?
I think what they are getting at is as follows (their points): 1. You are connected 24/365 and so there is a longer opportunity for people to check out vulnerabilities. 2. You have the same IP for a longer period of time, again like #1. 3. You aren't on the machine the whole time so would be less likely to notice that something was going on and/or, you would not notice if something huge (or many small things were) was sapping your bandwidth.:-)
