Just thinking out load

Have you a licence for your minkey ?

🙈😂🤣

I don’t believe any of those are Openreach cabinets.

The new grey one however, looks suspiciously like those being installed by the fibre Alt nets round this way

Check the locks on the green cabs…

The grey cabinet is made by HellermannTyton as noted above. These are used by amongst others CityFibre, Community Fibre and Virgin (for RFoG). Given the location it can’t be CityFibre as they aren’t present within the M25.

Just leaves the other two…but the green cabs don’t look like usual Virgin M. ones either and the Community Fibre cabs are all painted grey irrespective. Actually the chamber lids don’t look particularly BT like either. Weird one.

Could easily be VirginM, and built by one of the 23 former companies, as the dark green far away cab looks similar to those around here for Coax, perhaps the light green is for phones. As a complete guess, maybe the new cab is a fibre termination for HFC upgrade to DOCSIS 3.1 ?

I didn't really pay attention to the other two cabinets.

They are a Virgin Media MSAN / telephone cabinet and a power/nodal cabinet by the looks of it.

I wonder. That cabinet is the right size to be an FTTP distribution cabinet. There's nothing else VM use cabinets that small for.

VM have ongoing trials overbuilding their hybrid network with full fibre and announced they plan to do it commercially.

This is how they would do it with that cabinet layout.

I think I recall you were Farnborough way ….
Go have a look round Camberley, similar grey cabinets are popping up all over , for Tooli …. Verran Rd for instance.

Interesting, and thanks! Yet another AltNet!
