Not true, there's no filter on your consumer unit to stop it 'leaking'
out. You could be sharing your network with someone a couple of doors
down (on the same phase as your house).

Those are the ones I have:-

"dLAN 200 AVeasy guarantees maximum data security thanks to the
powerful 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption at the
touch of a button - no additional software is required. The data in
your network is thus optimally protected against unauthorized access.
"

Well, other than the tool used to setup the encryption in the first place :)

Cheers,
Al.
