That's what I got for FTTPoD in 2019: a 1+1 ONT, which the engineer installed in the large square outer case for neatness (it has space to curl up excess fibre), but with no BBU inside.

The front is in two parts, both of which are hinged: you just pull on the right hand side and it swings open.

If in one of those cases, it won’t be a four port jobbie, and as mentioned, it doesn’t guarantee that there’s a BBU in there either

Even if there were, it wouldn't make much difference. No new services are being provisioned on the ONT telephony ports, and your ONT isn't really any use without a router (*). If you have a UPS for the router, you may as well power the ONT from it as well.

(*) OK, technically you could connect your laptop directly to the ONT and run a PPPoE client. I don't think many people would be bothered with that in the middle of a power outage.

Its annoying that majority of FTTP is OpenReach as CityFiber in some places do symmetric speeds.

It’ll come in time. It’s hardly like current FTTP upload speeds are anaemic; why would you need faster at this moment in time? Would you rather they pause the rollout and say they’ll star again when XGS-PON is the cheaper option or have the service now with an upgrade path in the future?

If there's no actual BBU unit installed in the larger case, the larger case is pretty much redundant. So if you want a smaller neater thing hung on the wall, you can carefully remove the ONT from the larger case and mount it on its own on the wall.
