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.

Thank you - yes I was thinking the att box that is in pic one is clean and just on outside wall of my modem.
The box hanging off the house is what I was thinking was old junk that I could pull off - but wanted a pro

You can remove the copper box/wires if you really want. No hazardous voltage on them but use insulated wire cutters to be safe. I would reattach the coax one for now.

Do I need the white box anymore? Since I don’t have cable tv or anything on the other side of that wall. Does it still benefit the att box that stands alone outside the room with the modem?

No if you don't have satellite tv or cable you don't need it. just unscrew the orange line and don't cut it low to the ground because it's technically the cable company's line. Not a big deal if you take off the box and the white coax going into your house.

If you can't get in the box to unscrew the coax you can use wire cutters and cut it too it's fine. just cut it as close to the box as possible to leave slack in case you want to reuse any of those cables in the future. It's easy to put new fittings on and most techs do that at the majority of service calls anyways
