Someone fell off the road this evening. What's one of these worth? It's only been in a few months! Pleased I'm still on cable just now.

Edit: try and fix upside down photo!

[Mod edit (MF): fixed upside down photo - what?]

There isn't actually a lot in the cabinets - they're just a place to join fibre and contain no electronics.

The cabinets are actually obsolete now, having been replaced by ABFATs which are normally underground is possible.

Ahhh, I know the one... once spent 3 days near that when one of the high-voltage cables blew a joint. During a thunderstorm.

I think it's a cable cabinet, actually.

I assumed the cops would have sorted that? Other services where onsite briefly also so should be in hand.

unfortunately on the occasion, we were not informed of the damage. We have been able to locate this cabinet thanks the markings in your photo :-) ^JD

At least is wasn't as bad as this one http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=135&topicid=123184 But now im getting worried. The fibre cabinet that serves my place is on a T intersection witch has very bad cambering. If someone fails to take that corner they will probably take out the cabinet instead. And im guessing Chorus won't be happy if I spray paint the cabinet with fluro pink and yellow stripes. to try and make it more visible.
