I am thinking of using this product to network around t\my flat.

the question is how secure is it?

I see it comes with 56Bit DSE security and thats cool.....

other than the DES security what stops others in my street getting in to my network?

any other problem i might have?

In a typical street with say 150 houses on the substation transformer, there would be around 50 other houses on the same LV phase as you.

This is a limitation of using ADSL over power lines as well, there is not a unique cable pair like there is in a phone line situation, its a "shared network"
