Looks like it, has the laser warning sign on it.

I am going to piggyback onto this thread (Since fiber and telkom equipment). Saw this pop up on a pole next to the MSAN my VDSL is connected to. It's where OpenServe guys said it was being run from, any idea ?

Box on left is a splitter.

Exchange (OLT) --> splitters --> poles (or underground) --> customer premises

Thanks, yeah I saw them start there with the fiber all the way underground to across from my road where there is a little grey box on a pole I havnt looked at (Kinda like a simple version of the orange one), then under the road. I'm lucky enough to have a manhole which is right next to a pole that they were running through between my house and my neighbours.



I assume times must be getting close then (Though all those cables are very exposed on the splitter
