Broadband cable has connector fitted outside
I only noticed yesterday that my broadband cable in front of my house has been cut into and a connector fitted.
The last time I looked at the cable it when straight into the house without any connector on it.
I did have some building work done in the house last summer which involved fitting internal insulation to the wall where the cable comes through but if the builders had accidently cut the cable I'm sure I would have noticed the cable alteration before now.
Is it possible Virgin Media could have done this recently without me knowing?
Would they have left it like this?
But either way is it reliable the way it is now i.e. will the connector corrode with it being exposed to the rain?
Do I need the cable replacing or some sort of weatherproof box fitting to secure it as I live flush with the main road? (the flags in the picture are the main roads pavement which anyone has access to)

Thanks Tudor, I'll wait for a few days.
