    Purely for purposes of expanding on this lively thread (I duck out of taking any view on the specifics) I did come across the following older thread regarding privately commissioning VM to move cabinets (which I understand the OP has no wish to do - again this is just for information purposes) which makes reference to lots of very obscure VM teams and contact details that I have never come across before https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Forum-Archive/Move-a-Virgin-Street-Cabinet/td-p/5180344

It probably wasn't moved due to the costs, as mentioned above.

Not to mention the loss of service to, potentially, 100's of customers in the local area, for a period of time.

    Thank you, I am aware of all of that.

It is a safety hazard and needs addressing before someone does crash into it.
