Be aware that they arent all operated or owned by Virgin Media or Cable companies.

Most utility companies have them, in fact most green cabnets are BT's! and the BT cabinets round here are terrible, they are about 50 years old,the paint is falling off the,the doors are falling off and some of them are disused and not in any use at all.

Also,in my block of maisonettes there is BT's cables along the corridors and its in a terrible state of disrepair,there are also junction boxes too hanging off with most of the wires pulled out. I complained to BT, BT said that they wouldn't send anyone out to fix it because there are no active BT customers using those lines, Everyone is on Virgin Media round here. so I suppose if they don't want to fix it and if they have no active customers, might as well remove it all.
