Cable midspan amps are gray metal with fins; telcom splice boxes are almost always black with flat sides, but sometimes stainless cylinders.
Cable distribution taps have subscriber connections on the bottom, so the loop hangs directly down, and generally there is a colored plastic tag on some or all of the drops. Telcom boxes often have orange/black numbers on them.
It's rare to see cable with no phone; it's very common to see phone with no power.
Oceanic will build out for 20 customers/mile, just get everyone to sign a petition.
