Well that'd depend on a number of specific characteristics of that section of the network. Judging by the differing cable thicknesses it's possible there's enough leeway to use lower loss cables and a slightly higher amp output, given the next available location is probably the other side of the same house.

Then again it's even possible the amp is currently further down than it needs to be and was only put there out of convenience. Only networks would know.

Well that was my first thought, but then it'd still be on his property, *and* they'd have to dig up his garden (or leave an exposed manhole cover) in case they need to service it.
