This sounds like an rg11 re-pull...........now isn't there thread explaining what that is somewhere?

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.
