That's just the nature of cable modems. All the cable modem customers in
your area are on one big network loop. So you get all the traffic they
get. Some cable companies actually use switches, but most don't. It's
sorta like having your network on a hub rather than a switch. Makes for
some funny packet sniffing if you get really bored.
