I ordered Verizon FiOS last week and this morning a Verizon technician came by an opened a gray box hanging from the pole outside my apartment. He was probably doing something in preparation for my FiOS install scheduled for next week. I was a bit surprised when he opened the box without a key, but maybe he had some type of RFID transmitter on him that unlocked the box some other way.
I've never seen fiber inside those boxes before so I grabbed my DSLR, put on the telephoto lens, and took some pictures from my window. The closest I could come to finding a name for these boxes is a "cross box". If anyone has more information on them, please leave a comment!
SWEET NOW YOUR LINES ARE GLOWING. AWWWww AWWWww AIiiiiiii. “Can We Keep Him Mom?”
The lines outside my house are glowing, yes. The actual FiOS install isn’t until next week! Never the less, it’s pretty damn cool knowing all those fiber connections are in a box right outside my apartment!
I’m jealous…. FiberOptics was suppose to be ready to launch to the residential area already and it’s been moved till ???
Can’t wait to dump the local cable company. To bad AT&T doesn’t offer something like this.
Congrats!
