Been going on for a while with a way to go, we just get emails with links to update as to progress and some pictures of before and after of certain cabinets.

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.
