As they are on the intranet then no as they would be classed as business sensitive.
You may get an idea of what is being done from this Google link

Not from the intranet sorry only the ones in that link but you can see the few really neat ones compared to the tatty ones.

Re: virgin media are replacing all the green boxes in my area
The cabinet replacement isn't related to the upstream uplift directly. You aren't going to be upgraded the moment the cabinets are worked on.
While I don't go through a cabinet, it's all in underground pits, they did the work on my area on 23rd August and I still don't have the upgrade.

No. If I were in Uddingston I wouldn't be commenting I'd instead be waiting, per the published schedule and the information from VM staffers, for February to roll around.

Yes, just, though I don't actually care.

Re: virgin media are replacing all the green boxes in my area
ive not heard/read of many posts stating cabs have been worked on. is this plan still active and is the delay to various areas due to upgrades needed to a vast amount of cabinets?

Actually that it makes sense probably excludes it, never mind  |
Howdy I joined 2 weeks ago had an engineer visit to replace cable from cab to house, he told me that all the amplifiers in my area (Croftfoot) needed replaced but they weren't doing it til after the olympics. Maybe that explains the crappy speeds I'm getting.

Thought the plan was to do this as part of the speed upgrade programme. Doesn't seem to be the case. Nothing changed in this area. Still doors held shut with insulating tape.
