That is a DP, note the colour coded tubes going off to their counter parts in the manifolds.

I would suspect no room in nearby footway boxes, or no planning permission for a new box. If you look at my reply to WWWombat, you'll see that is a DP, not a splitter.

Photo 5a, did you notice the two E-side DACS units in the cab, guess you could now have a DACs'ed line AND broadband !

Photo 18, this is the BFT with the addition copper pair in it, hence the under eaves closure and the original drop wire taking the original feed in.

I get them mixed up sometimes

In reply to a post by Zarjaz:

No - we are Madingley (EAMAD). Resourcing was not helped by the next door exchange, Caxton (EACAX) also winning a Race to Infinity spot. Frustration at the apparent lack of progress has been compounded by BT's repeated assurances over the last year that completion was imminent, next few weeks, end of the month etc. Back in September/October they even reckoned the problem properties would be finished early 2013
