Re: FTTC Cabinet abused by kids


[re: RobertoS] [link to this post] 		 
Well this went downhill rapidly.

Kids, and some adults, kick street furniture. Street furniture is hardened precisely because it's in the street.

It'll probably be fine, nothing to see here.

In reply to a post by Fastman2:
suggest contact openreach as the DSLAMS can be sensitive , as well as powers whith ups power


Perhaps sticking sensitive DSLAMs with big battery packs out in the streets wasn't such a hot idea.

If only there were some other way to have boosted broadband speeds that didn't involve active equipment out in the field.

Indeed it did. And yes, the cabinets are pretty tough.

However I made the first reply to the OP. I regard it as simple vandalism and gave what I believe to be appropriate advice as to who to contact. We didn't see what was going on, and it is up to the OP what he wishes to do.

I also gave what I believe is appropriate advice regarding joking to the police about guns.

Then you end up with HFC cable, like VirginMedia and they seem to have about double the cabinets Openreach have even after fitting FTTC. Most of the VM cabinets have doors that have fallen off, and been taped shut! I assume they don't actually have electricity in, just coax junctions, otherwise that is a very poor show.

Well, I'm sorry that my comments where out of place or even taste but I was trying to get a point across regarding the lack of support from the police..

[re: Andrue] [link to this post] 		 
And when I've used that in the past they have been adamant that they need the postcode :-/


I reported a telegraph pole at a 45 degree angle across the road after an apparent RTC. Finding BT's number proved frustrating.

They too wanted a postcode but I couldn't tell them as I did not know the area well.

Gave up. Perhaps it has collapsed by now...
