Not at all. The meter measures power and you only pay for power consumed through your meter. Any house can have a supply but until you consume power your meter will not spin.
In terms of will your neighbour be able to access you network. Firstly the output from a substation is a three phase supply which is load balanced. Therefore theoretically all the houses in your street will be split up between the three phases, each of which is 120 degrees appart, so you would have to find a neighbour on the same phase as you. (its not a good idea to get a cable with a plug on each end and plug one end in your house and the other end in your neighbours house as you would get a large bang of 415volts and a bit of smoke
.
As already stated the meter will suppress the network signal and also the signal does not travel for infinate distance
