BT Fibre Pulls Out of Chelsea Over Ugly Equipment Cabinets

Posted by timothy on from the sounds-like-some-elvis-costello-lyrics dept.

judgecorp writes "The up-market London borough of Kensington and Chelsea has lost its chance for BT fast fibre. After residents objected to the ugly fibre cabinets, and the council repeatedly refused permission to install them in historic sites, BT has said the borough will not get its fast BT Infinity product at all. The borough says it doesn't need BT, as Richard Branson's Virgin Media has got it more or less covered."

    Perhaps if they're painted like a police box, nobody will even notice they're present?

    If they made them to look like blue police call boxes people would be fighting over having one on their street.
