Well the power has been connected, but I hear no humming from the cabinet? Do BT have to visit the cab to swtich it on or what?

Probably. The mini cabinets don't make much noise, and neither large nor mini cabinets need much cooling at the moment, so you wont hear much, if any fan noise when they are running

Well my cabinent has had power connected to it for a while now and nothing seems to have happpened. I dont think the PCP is connected to the FTTC and I dont think the fibre has been blown to the cabinent. How long after power connectivity should activity around the cab resume/begin?

Days/weeks/months. There is no set time and each cabinet is has its own planning issues. I doubt it will be active and accepting orders for a few months yet.

Just had a quick nosey at the end of our road. About 5 metres from the existing green cabinet, is an new box with 240Volts sticker on the side of it. Its not very big, roughly half the size of the normal green cabinet and the surrounding pavement has been taken up. Is this just the power point?

Probably the small FTTC caninet. Power is contained within

As Ribble says. Is it the Huawei or RECI 128 on this page?

It looks like ECI 128, but, in green.

I will see if I can get a photo shot of it and post back.

Forgot to log in. lol

It could be the Huawei128. Will have another walk down tomorrow.

Right, I popped down this morning and here is a link to the cabinet. The same cabinet has popped up in a few locations around the village too.

Local FTTC Cabinet MYHOB

Is this all I should expect to see?
