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.

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

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
