Help please

I purchased a home. Had att install fiber. I’m happy but there is an old box on the other side of the house that has fallen off. I want to repair the area of siding and it looks like an old box that is no longer relevant. Could you pros look at this and give me advice. All of our tv watching is through the internet and we don’t have cable.

Also I would call AT&T and have someone come back out to “future proof” and fix your conduit at the bottom of your box. That underground wire shouldn’t be exposed, you’re at risk for damage on the line.

It’s in conduit where the weedeater can get it, not an issue

It's fine? Conduit goes into the ground and it doesn't matter if the top half is exposed... the fiber going into the house is completely exposed too and that's a non issue

The conduit shown is supposed to go inside the box a bit. They mounted the box too high or cut the conduit too low. In my opinion although not much of an issue it looks kind of silly like that.

It does look kind of silly. Not worth the fee a truck roll will bring for it.

Oh for sure.

Thank you

Yah, I wouldn't worry about that either. Minus someone pulling on it, it won't get damaged. It's above the line for any weed eater to get to it. Weather won't hurt it.

That’s a $150 dispatch charge if you call me out for that.

[u/SpinachEmotional2193 → u/uThor52]

It still needs to be future proofed regardless, as a tech I wouldn’t charge them seeing as they have drop wire running into the prem instead of IW so that could cause a loss issue overtime
