Installation question about fttc

Guys just wondering if bt wholesale install the cabs and power first then the fibre cable anyone know as my cab is in and I saw them putting the power in 2 weeks ago only thing I have not seen is the laying of the fibre cable in general around my town I know there are duct system around the town and I know bt started before Xmas just think it's odd I've not seen any cable. Exchange is haslingon

Thanks for any replies in advance

I believe that the fibre is pushed through the ducting first, and then the cabinets are installed, connected and powered. At least, that is what I saw in Leamington - OR vans around town pushing ducting and the blowing the fibre down, followed by cabinets being installed.
