Can't see the securing bolts in the picture so likely to be back to finish off, maybe due to the weather / temperature

No, there's no studs sticking up out of the concrete. I would have thought they would have levelled it to the top of the shuttering, but the ducts are too short?

Tardis

We've already got one of those... the water board have left a portaloo 'round the corner, the right colour and everything.

Turdis?

Very good!

Technically nothing Paul, but yesterday was a seriously pants day to be working outside (as I was) so a little courtesy would probably not go amiss.

Who needs photos of a concrete slap being knocked up anyway ?

It was to see if it was a base for a PCP or a fibre one that's was why I asked for a photo.

Indeed, it was pretty grotty here to be digging holes, or taking photos.

Anyway, here it is, shuttering is still in place, plus another excavation. Sorry about the picture quality, quick snap from the phone and into the sun.

Frosty here this morning! If that's the finished level, it looks lower than the surrounding ground.

No blue draw rope, just an earth cable sticking out - presumably goes to a spike somewhere, as everything is supplied overhead T-T here. Grey ducts head towards BT inspection chamber.

The grey ducts are for the phone / fibre cable(s) and the black ducts with the earth are I assume for the power and they will be joint to that power cable at the bottom of the photo.

Looks very similar layout of ducts to what appeared near to us last summer:

Which then magically turned in to an AOI cabinet (10 August 2017)

Took till Christmas 2017 to go live but worth it now.

I think we have its twin.


Nothing at all happened yesterday. Went out this morning about 8.30, just come back in and found that this thing had landed some time this morning -

Also note the new inspection chamber to the rear. Nobody there now, barriers gone and all deserted.


Hope it's sorted quicker than yours, local BDUK promised all systems go by the end of March.

Amazing how quickly they can install these things once the decision has been made
Ours needed a bit of work to clear ducts, after a few weeks it was powered up and I could hear a faint hum when I put my ear to it (the dog walkers thought I was mad

With an AIO cabinet I believe the procedure is to do a 'live-to-live' migration of the lines from the old cabinet but, again from what i have read, all the ISPs need to agree the date, so this can take several months.

Hang in there, we went from 10/1 to 80/20, the difference is amazing, particularly having two teenagers who just can't get their head round 'not using the internet' so we can watch netflix!

All our lines currently go right back to a 20CN exchange several miles away, all underground, no fibre and not a cabinet in sight.

I would be happy with 10/1, that would be a luxury here!

No live to live delays. Hope all the lines and data update promptly
