I've never seen a CBT mounted that way - have you? Normally they are underground or on top of a pole, to avoid tampering.

Many, and at different ends of the UK too - from council-built flats, to terraced commercial street, to large houses subdivided into flats. In most cases near an old copper DP - which may be my answer in this case, if the DP remains underground which is likely. I can see individual cables to footway box CBT making sense for a 2-3 flat conversion, but 6 is a large number and I'm pretty sure I've seen 4 port CBTs on commercial terraces.

I hope Openreach have something in the works to stop them looking horrific. They're fine up a pole but CBTs look awful on buildings once the ports start filling up.

Here is an example of a CBT on a building. A Grade II Listed Building to be exact! https://ancient-mariner.co.uk/public/Record%20Office...

It was not there when this photo was taken, https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/300000019-count... - just above the green bin.

Cheers!

How lovely - not

Thanks Clive, I'll have to remember to insist they put mine on the front wall, maybe I could make a feature of it with some flashing lights

Oh my, listed building or not thats a shambles.

Not exclusive to the telco industry mind you
