Kinda pees me off …. they lob it up there in the bucket of a hoist … but fail to assess how tricky they’ve made it for the average Joe who has to actually climb up and work on the damn thing ……

Not me guv …. when I was young, lithe and limber maybe…..

Seriously though, blocks like that pictured will become abundant as more and more line plant gets chucked up there … unless you’re very lucky, you just cannot get your working position belt in the correct spot to allow for a safe and comfortable climb.

The guy who did mines just went up on a ladder. No way to get one of those machines into the pole as it's smack in the middle of my back garden.

They did that on the 6th still not available yet slightly worried there's more going on than meets the eye.

Has a nice badge on it saying 'Fibre Overhead' now though.

Usually after the CBT has been installed, OR engineers will go up the pole and check each port is working as part of the commissioning process. Once that’s done, keep an eye on the availability checker.
