Most people won't have RF blocking filters at their house electricity
inlet, so there may be some leakage to the next house that's on the
same phase.
I can get a reliable connection on the end of about 100ft of house and
extension cable, so I wouldn't be surprised to be able to find a signal
in another house.
Presumably, when we speak of security here, we're not talking about
accidental reception, wi-fi WEP would be sufficient to prevent this,
but a deliberate attempt to break in. We could assume that someone
trying to get into a power-line link would be able to amplify the
signals involved.
