The ones that verizon has been installing around here on the poles are much better. They mount them high up, and they are only around 3 feet wide by 4 feet tall, much smaller than what I have seen in these pics. Don't understand why these need to be so big!

| The reason ATT's units are so much larger is because of how they chose to upgrade there plant, it takes a lot of space to house all those DSLAMS as well as having to power it. Verizon on the other hand just needs a place to splice the fiber into there network, there is no power equipment involved beyond what is installed at the central office and at the end of the fiber in each home. |

The Verizon boxes (HUBs) are non-powered splitters. They are the splice point where the trunk fiber from the CO is split and fed to segments of the neighborhood as a single fiber per unit. Since all the boxes contain are the splits and no power they are much smaller. All the splicing occurs on the overhead segments of cables built into the boxes. |
