I was motivated to look at my TOS since Xazy asked me if I secured my network, and also after reading Jazz's response.
Time Warner Cable TOS http://help.twcable.com/html/twc_sub_agreement.html
this section says you are required to secure your network.
Quote:
(iii) If I receive HSD Service, I agree not to use the HSD Service for operation as an Internet service provider, for the hosting of websites (other than as expressly permitted as part of the HSD Service) or for any enterprise purpose whether or not the enterprise is directed toward making a profit. I agree that, among other things, my use of any form of transmitter or wide area network that enables persons or entities outside the location identified in the Work Order to use my Services, whether or not a fee is sought, will constitute an enterprise purpose. Furthermore, if I use a wireless network within my residence, I will limit wireless access to the HSD Service (by establishing and using a secure password or similar means) to the members of my household.
(c) Theft or willful damage, alteration, or destruction of TWC Equipment, or unauthorized reception, theft or diversion of Services, or assisting such theft, diversion, or unauthorized reception is a breach of this Agreement and potentially punishable under law (including by way of statutory damages, fine and/or imprisonment). Nothing in this Agreement, including, Section 3(g) above, shall prevent TWC from enforcing any rights it has with respect to theft or unauthorized tampering of Services or TWC Equipment under applicable law.

The below states that TWC isn't liable if you do not secure your network and that you are..

(ii) NONE OF THE TWC PARTIES MAKES ANY WARRANTIES AS TO THE SECURITY OF MY COMMUNICATIONS VIA TWC'S FACILITIES OR THE SERVICES (WHETHER SUCH COMMUNICATIONS ARE DIRECTED WITHIN THE SERVICES, OR OUTSIDE THE SERVICE TO OR THROUGH THE INTERNET), OR THAT THIRD PARTIES WILL NOT GAIN UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR MONITOR MY COMPUTERS(S) OR ONLINE (INCLUDING VOICE) COMMUNICATIONS. I AGREE THAT NONE OF THE TWC PARTIES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY SUCH UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS. I HAVE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO SECURE MY COMPUTER AND ONLINE (INCLUDING VOICE) COMMUNICATIONS.
