Standalone - I have my doubts about it being a BT PCP. A picture of the doors might help. It has a stencilled number on it which is definitely non-BT.

1 & 2 - the one in the middle may be BT. The other two are not. The label on the nearest one looks like the one on the standalone, but could be fly-posting.

3 & 4 - the near one is not BT. (Just realised it is the same one as the far one in the trio). The far one may be.

What do the manhole covers in front of each say?

The small label on the side of the standalone, and on the first one - they're both minicab stickers.

The first one also has a yellow label on the front, that's a 240V warning.

As ribble said none look like phone cabinets. The one with a power sticker looks like a VM optical node and the other two with pent tops look like standard VM distribution cabinets. I have no idea what the big cabinet with an oversized square shaped top may be.

The clincher is likely to be the lettering on the manhole covers in front of them. CATV means they are cable cabinets for sure.

The number on mine is painted on the inside.

urban4691 - I can see your cab should be showing as enabled, but I've no data on where it is, a few were put underground and it looks like your cab was done 2 1/2 years after the rest at your exchange if I'm reading the data right so could be they've had to do something creative to get it installed and that may mean it's not visible or obvious where it is.

The first link doesn't work, I'm afraid, and I am hopeless at navigating google street view from the FTTC one to find and correct it.

That's really interesting, thanks Dave. Are you able to share the data? Can you see exactly what date it was enabled?

Hi Roberto,

The standalone says CATV, the group of four: the first and second say CATV and the third and fourth say Cable and Wiresless.

Ah, THAT'S cabinet 6? Wow. That's so much further from home than I thought it would be...that would explain why it's only predicting 50.7Mbps down. It's almost outside the exchange!

Cab 6 was done 8th March 2014, looks like it had been planned to be part of the original deployment in phase 5B but was delayed.

First cabs were 23 and 24 done July 2011 with the rest of the original deployment completing June 2012.

Cab 5 is the only cab currently on the deployment list that's not ready yet.
