Nope wasnt an RG11 repull, they only pulled through an RG6 cable.

in this area, they use pits instead of cabinets.

theres 2 big cabinets at the end of the road, but down the roads themselves it is all pits.

inside the pit, there was a connection box which engineers describe as a "bomb" with the telco connections.

and 1 line tap, looking like this, with 20dB marked on it.



with big fat coax cable like this entering 1 side, and out the other,



coming from previous pit, and going to the next.

So impossible to move me onto a higher tap, if there is only 1 tap inside the pit.. and if they did, because it is a cabinet with a bunch of pits connected in series, if it is possible to move the pit onto a higher tap in the cabinet.. it would probably increase the signal to most of the street, from what I gather with pits only network techs have access to the cabinets.

This is the archtecture you are reffering to,



but that archtecture doesnt use pits, the cables go to a cabinet... but here instead the cables go to a pit.

then there are small telco cabinets, which maybe also house line amps.
but the big cabinet is at the end of the road.
