I have.... funnily enough it was BT...

I think its because after so many years of people getting to understand that ADSL was based on distance from Exchange to CPE that now they don't want to confuse anyone with the whole Cabinet to CPE....

Maybe because someone might ask why there normal broadband don't go faster now theoretically the DSLAM is closer (not in those words of course)

Sky also did it few months back too...

I can understand people getting confused with distance to the exchange (ADSL) and distance to the cabinet (FTTC), but not actually confusing the exchange building with a street cabinet.

But the average person doesn't know or pay attention to the cabinets...

Most people call the PCP the green box. A lot of Virgin Media cabinets are also green boxes.

Virgin Media boxed are slightly darker green and slightly lighter green and they had several digits on the top left or right side of the front of the cabinet.

or Grey and not all have numbers on them.... (though they probably should do...

In the south east they are green with odd grey and all have the numbers you speak of but in Birmingham they have no numbers and they come in green, blue, grey and even purple in one area...

True, I think the colours are possibly chosen by the council they are in.

Perhaps the ones without the number are the old ones?
