Take Care Of Your Utility Box Or Let Us Paint A Mural
This box is in front of our complex. It always gets tagged and is an eyesore. Is it still in use or can it be removed? If it needs to stay, can you take better care of it and/or let us plant a bush in front to hide it, let us paint a mural on it, or wrap it in vinyl. Why do you guys put these terrible things all over creation and then not take care of them? We have two other ISPs and their equipment isn't ghetto like AT&Ts. We also have all these terrible satellite dishes all over the place. How come AT&T doesn't care that it makes neighborhoods ugly with its garbage equipment?

That is a Uverse platform fiber fed VRAD or Video Ready Access Device that were part of the Uverse build out from 2006 to 2015 (10 years) that provided FTTN or Fiber To The Node reaching a total of 33 million residential addresses.
Still active, I suspect so... any customer in the neighborhood that is eligible for internet 100, 75, 50 or 25 is dependent upon the copper output from the various cards (F, K or N) that might be inside. Each card supports max 48 connections. If have (4) cards would be potentially 192 customers... with 8 cards could support max 384 connections.
Is the entire complex switched over to ATT Fiber? What about the surrounding neighborhood(s)? As long as there are customers on the service, I would not expect the equipment to be removed. ATT stated goal is to have 50% (30 million) of hardwired customers within 21 state footprint to be direct fiber by start of 2026. That means there will be another 30 million customers not on direct fiber and may be using the equipment your referring to.

We are switching to AT&T Fiber. When we do, could that box be removed?
