There is no possible place your cable could go via a different route to your neighbour to the CTMS.
Both cables will go via the same ducting to the cabinet and the same way to the CTMS.

The only way it would take a different route was if you were on the nodal area boundary. I have been on a couple of jobs where the cable has been pulled to the pit to the right of the house rather than left, which was actually fed from a different node.
Basically the feed into your house is RF. Your signal will travel through various bits of coax and through a couple of amps, then back to a fibre node. The fibres run back to the headend/hub site, goes through various splits and conversions to back to RF and it ends up at the CMTS

Whether you're on an Arris E6000 CMTS now, or still on a Motorola or Cisco, you can find out by googling your CMTS MAC (see your hub stats if you have a hub 3) as has already been suggested.

Thanks all.
