New cabinet installed on my estate

Nick1881 · 5 Oct 2023 at 13:36

This new cabinet and the strange yellow things is being installed just up the road from me.

Is this some kind of new fibre? I checked a few websites and none mention upcoming availablity in Nuneaton.

Currently my options are VM or 50-60mb.

Possibly a phone mast

They're temporary hoods so water doesn't flood it

Obviously something will be going in there, but it doesn't look virgin or BT - Can you check for planning applications?

Pretty sure those are still VM cabinets.

I'd say you're right!

Does look like the VM cabs. Will this just be expanding or rolling out full fibre?

They are VM cabs, exactly the same as what was installed around here a few years ago.

Excellent planning to take space out of the path rather than using some of that vast expanse of grass behind them

+1 to VM cabs. Had the exact same ones installed (including the temp. yellow covers) at my old house a few years ago.

i am guessing the grass is privately owned or they just dont permissions

Exactly the same here a grey VM cabinet slapped bang on the path instead of the swathe of grass behind it. Mind you the grass probably belongs to the flats here. Still can't get a bloody line to it though, access permission issues from the freeholder I imagine VM certainly won't tell me
