Virgin media technical asset
 

I came across this on my travels

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/11/22.jpg

I can only describe it as a giant street cabinet, covered in ivy, with a door on one side. The fence gate was not locked and the green door was open just enough for a mouse to get inside, although secured from fully opening with a rather flimsy looking padlock. Written on the door was "VIRGIN MEDIA TECHNICAL ASSET". Anyone know what is inside it? Is it the cable headend? A core router? Something else?

The wire fence is a Faraday cage to stop it interfering with all the local Super Hubs... :)

Re: Virgin media technical asset
 

Its a Hub Site - mini headend
