Following on from the Virgin Media street cab article, I came across a PCP last week with the doors left unlocked (and wide open to the elements!) I phoned it in to Openreach and it's already fixed, but as I had my camera...
This is a 'vintage' BT street cabinet, so no FTTC VDSL equipment. Still hoping to grab some close-up snaps of one of those, though given the cost of equipment in them I doubt I'd find an open one which wasn't vandalised. Who knows...

Why does so much coverage of Lateral Flow tests show people swabbing just inside the nostril (with swab pointing up), when my work advises the nasopharyngeal method with Roche LF tests? (the method NHS test centre use) What's the % of false negatives due to badly done swabs?
3Hi, it's me, your neighborhood reasonable adult. I heard Dr. Seuss books were "banned" in a Virginia school district, which surprised me! So, I did what any reasonable adult would do with internet access: I looked it up to get official details. (thread)

2No, it's not familian, it's *mammalian*. Come on @DisneyPlusUK, sort this out please. There's loads of titles I've watched with errors in the subtitles, this is just the latest (X Files S01E01). Is there an accessibility department I can contact direct to address these errors?

Interesting to see 237A blocks in there, our local cab has a mixture of the old screw terminals, and the later 'thread the bundles of cable through the holes and use 8A connectors' type. I'm more than willing to send the photos if you're interested
Definitely Martin, I could stick them up on the article for comparison 🙂
That's not a particularly old PCP looks relatively new, and it does have fiber connected to it, all of the connections on the right hand side with the green and blue tops (representing Exchange and distrubtion side) are the ports that go over to the fiber DSLAM and back to the PCP to go back to the copper D Side. The yellow and blue are the jumpers that connect them from Copper E side to fiber D Side through the DSLAM out on fiber E side back to copper D Side. ☺ 🙂
Is it likely that this type of cabinet will be removed when the copper phone network is switched off in 2026?
