I asked one of the subbies what was going on, and he said they were putting fibre (and associated boxes) on the telephone poles in the area, and that when finished it was intended to have Fibre To The Home, rather than just to the Cabinet.

He said they are rolling it out all over Leeds, having just finished doing this in Beeston (Leeds).

We don't have any Telephone Poles in my area, so probably won't get it here.
I do hope they visit Kirkstall at some point, we have a telephone pole almost within touching distance of the house. We're so far from the cabinet there's no point in fibre, it would be slower than our extremely sluggish adsl.
