We have had FTTC for years, G.Fast 6 months (for the few houses close enough), and now a new cab has appeared. Looks the same as the FTTC cab. So that's three, including the bolt-on G.Fast.
With the FTTP in our area, aside from the fibre going up the pole there is no other above ground sign of it. The nodes all appear to be in underground chambers.

That is correct. Fibre aggregation nodes and splitter nodes sit in underground chambers (or on poles), and are completely passive - no power required.
Slightly OT, but I have just retuned from a trip to Cornwall where there is a lot of native FTTP in the small villages, and some of the installations there are horrendous.
Mostly where the cables/micro duct has been pulled from a chamber and barely clipped to the wall up to the soffits etc, hanging and swinging in the breeze.
Oh, and the publicly accessible oil and gas tanks at ground level?
My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk. Domains, site and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - Three 4G, tbb tests normally 35-45Mpbs down, 65Mbps off-peak, 9-24 up.
