VM may have chosen to keep their cabinet separate to avoid getting their underground cable ducts away from the OR ones. And if they are going to cable up the houses on your side they will need a cabinet that side.
Has the cabinet got a sloping top? There was a case on here recently where the cabinet had a top sloping to the back, directing rain onto the wall and causing a damp problem.
My wife had a chat with the engineers installing the cabinet while I was at work. It's been placed outside our house because it is just serving the four small streets in our area. The top slopes away from our wall and the cabinet is about 5” away from our wall. So it can still be pointed with a bit of a struggle. Probably need an SDS drill with a long bit to get the old pointing out, definitely couldn't do it the old way with a hammer and chisel. So I think I needlessly panicked. That will teach me to just stay calm and wait.
