What your referring to is a BT Infinity cabinet. This is a Fibre Node cabinet and not a smaller DP cabinet like the ones NTL and Telewest deployed for local access. The smaller VM cabinets are still quite basic with a single locking point whereas new Nodal cabinets are certainly much better than they used to be (VM cabinets made by same people that make BT cabinets).
Its much harder to upgrade an existing cabinet than it is to build a brand new one, I would expect any future change to existing street furniture to be for superior build types than are currently deployed.
