Yeah they've got to put nodes (splices, splitters and aggregation points) somewhere - either tuck it into a UG chamber or put it above ground in a cabinet (or up a pole). Got to go somewhere.

Where they put what cabinets ??? This is FTTP. No cabinets.

This is an altnet (Zzoomm) we're talking about.

I've seen both Cityfibre and Gigaclear cabinets: they are passive, unpowered cabinets. I don't know what Zzoom do.

they have something in the street as they say look out for black covers.

Stand to be corrected, but having done a quick search it appears that Zzoomm use XGS-PON (and Adtran ONTs)

Er? something else to read up about

"at a friends house a few weeks ago "

With covid restrictions this may well have been illegal.

Oh well,

Hahaha. Have a light bedtime read of the link I posted above that explains the differences between PON and PtP.

Then have a read of what's coming down the pipe in a few years...

LOL, bedtime, no, but I will have a look later, I got to do some stuff today, so will be busy for a lot of it.
Thanks

What do you mean "Oh well"?

You're one of the idiots that is endangering others.

The Gigaclear cabinet that I am connected to is certainly powered.

You're making huge assumptions.

I bet you're 1 of the idiots that approaches people in supermarkets due not having a mask on.

Visiting a friend does not necessarily mean a rule breach. It's rude of you to assume it is.
There are different rules in the 4 Nations of the UK. They aren't all the same as England and it's ignorant to assume otherwise.

I visit my friend every 2nd day.
He's shielding. As he lives alone he's allowed to join my bubble. That's exactly what we've done.
Twice I've had comments when entering his house by self righteous [censored] like yourself who need to mind their own business.

CityFibre apparently using Hellerman Tyton as a supplier for their outside plant cabinets etc..

All the gear in the photos here is passive splice trays and connector blocks. No active gear as its all GPON and in future XGS-PON.
