Can you identify this BT fibre manifold?


[link to this post]
 
Can anyone identify the BT fibre manifold on the pole in the pictures linked below?

It certainly isn't a one stage FTTP manifold, nor is it the earlier two stage FTTP manifold. The output of the manifold appears to go to the top of the pole and then off to a property somewhere in the distance.

My reason for asking is that I am about to move to a property which is fed by a normal copper phone line from this pole and FTTC speeds are predicted to be sub 15 Mbps.

I'm wondering if the presence of this manifold will result in reduced upfront FTTP on demand costs or alternatively more reasonable installation costs of a leased line, depending on what this manifold is.

Thoughts?

It isn�t a manifold. It is a track node (just a �joint�) what is at the end end of the thinner of the two outputs will be where the manifold or CBT (more likely) is.

Whether this means you�ll get a cheaper quote, who knows ..... ask for one and see.
