Every single cabinet in the country has either been refurbished or replaced and we are talking about over 11000.

Can't remember mine being refurbished or replaced, in fact half of them have been cleared out and empty for about 6 months i have noticed.

Wish they would come & replace ours , it is full of rust & holes at the bottom.

Doors held together with sticky tape. Doors bent and hanging off. Some others with no doors at all. They can start here any time they like !

sooner this is completed the better.

@ Digital Fanatic - when did the upgrades begin so we know a rough completion date?

The work is not just cosmetic either, we are adding capacity to the network for future expansion and new services.

That's seperate as that's at CMTS level.

Uddingston is amplifier limited so they might be replacing those 30MHz return path amps as they are upgrading the cabinets, would make sense to. :)

Actually that it makes sense probably excludes it, never mind :p:

so this is all for capacity to the network for future expansion and new services. not for the faster upload ?
