In reply to a post by WillCalderwood:
All the houses around us are on 13. Here's cabinet 13

And the square building down the end of that track is the telephone exchange. I've seen a lot of OpenReach vans parked around there over the last few months, but with that being the exchange you'd expect to see them there.
I wonder if the intention was to put the FTTC one round the corner from the PCP, just the other side of the new(?) double-top chamber, and they ran into trouble. Possible power supply as I said.

Guesswork, but it is possible, though usually by the time the PCP reshell and chamber goes in they know if power should be OK.

Who knows. I'm guessing there's no easy way to contact OpenReach to find out what's going on?

I work from home and improved upload speeds would help me massively right now!

Odd that the trench from the new-looking chamber to the small rectangular one the other side of the PCP is old. I wonder what that is anyway, given the main chamber in front of the PCP.

The usual way is looking for roadworks on Council sites and who is doing them. But given that location it's unlikely they would show up.

Have you had a nosey round the cabinet? The google pics are four years ago.

One thing I was wondering was that the wall going down the drive on our right looks new. I wonder if work there, or the wall across to the gate, has collapsed a duct.

I had a look around the cabinet. Everything looks pretty much exactly the same as it does in that picture. There's no sign on ongoing work. I might have jump on an OpenReach engineer next time I see one to see if they have any info.
