Both LG & the VM subsidiary got credit downgrades following the takeover, if I remember rightly.

However their share price has gone from 55 dollars to 80 since they bought VM and is expected to reach 100 in the not too distant future, so clearly people who understand how all this stuff works, have confidence in the decision.

Yes, because rising share prices is the sole indicator of a financially sound investment. You came out with this utter bollocks last time this discussion happened.

Isn't it 128 (small), 288 large? And aren't there two types of cabinet (and modem), Huawei & ECI?

I honestly don't know i did a google for the cab sizes.

There are certainly two sizes - they pick whichever they think is likely to be needed for all the FTTC lines from their partner phone cabinet.

I'd put an FTTC cab as the equivalent of an optical node as it has fibre back to the exchange, active components, and needs a 240v supply. The thing is once the FTTC cab is installed apart from a short link to the parent phone cabinet all the links to customer premises are already in place but for VM unless this is a capacity upgrade there is still a lot of expensive work needed to take the service to customers.

My one response , you are wrong on many levels. Please don't get yourself banned again, you have been behaving lately, don't spoil it now.

Im sure it was you who posted the link to it some months ago, I cant find the documentation on the openreach website, but if you skip to about 2:45 on this video it shows the wall mounted ECI unit
