Re: Broken NTL green box.

The one opposite my house has been loose and unlocked for a few years, seen numerous Virgin engineers there, all of which just chuck the cover back on and don't even lock it, i put the cover back on once before as Kids sometimes sit on it and had pulled it right off, i've reported it before but nothing has ever been done about it, guess they don't care about their network

Re: Broken NTL green box.

There's one on a retail park near me that's open almost constantly. Nynex box, not quite sure what the cab is doing there anyway. It just seems to have the strips for the telephone line connections but it has no coax or tv related equipment in it.

Any ideas what the box is or was for and how can we get Virgin to close it? As the doors are swinging into the footpath every other day.

I can get it closed if you say where it is

Thanks. Croft Retail Park, Bromborough. There's actually another one that's been open for months a few roads behind there-Dock Road South.

Anyone know why it has no TV section in it and no customers connected to it?

Possibly a business only cab. Or a booster cab.

Interesting, I didn't realise they had telephone only cabs.

Can you be a bit more specific about where they are? There are several cabinets in and around Croft Retail Park, and at least two on Dock Road South.

Trouble is the whole of the retail park is classed as Welton Rd. The cabinet on the retail park is on the little roundabout opposite the Odeon and at the side of Frankie and Benny's.

The one on Dock Road South is in Brombourough Pool village just past South View on the right.
