I think the amount of cabinets per streets I expect is dependent on when cable services were rolled and who did the rollout. My city had cable services very early, I have read in multiple places that early cable rollouts were bodge jobs not done properly. I have been driven around the streets round here and there is definitly not a cable box on every road, the one serving me appears to serve at least half a dozen streets including 2 long roads with over 300 houses on. Some of those houses also converted to flats and bedsits. My cabinet also is bigger than the pictures posted. Up until half a year ago the doors couldnt even close due to the sheer amount of cables and splitters inside.

On my road the only other cabinet is a BT cabinet, there is a VM cabinet right at the other end but this is a 2 mile road.

seph you have links to info's on street cabinet density?
