[DSL] Photos of remote internals--okay to post?

Click for full size
Click for full size

So, a couple of months ago, Bell installed a new remote down the street from me. However, they didn't put a padlock on it and apparently didn't latch the door properly, because when I was walking by it, the door was hanging open.

Naturally, I grabbed my DSLR and took some high-res photos of the internals (fiber, what appear to be line cards, etc.). My questions: 1) am I okay to post these, or am I going to get myself or someone else in trouble? It *was* in plain sight. 2) Does anyone care to see what the internals of these things look like? Or is this uninteresting/something that's been covered before?

Edit: Okay, so I will never ever post a question like that again unless I can back it up in a timely fashion. Sorry, folks--I haven't had a chance to post for a couple of days and, in the meantime, this thread was exploding. The photos are probably a letdown at this point. Apologies to those left hanging!

If it's in plain sight from a public street, I don't think there's any law against it, except in the case of people doing things (thus why google blurred faces after streetview came out)

If you have them, feel free to post them. I doubt it's illegal or anything.

I once noticed one of these things unlocked as well, but when I opened the door to take a peek inside, I also noticed an intrusion sensor on the door...

...not 10 minutes later a Bell truck showed up.

You'd think it would've been cheaper for them to just fix the lock than to install an intrusion sensor and a dataline.

At least the one around here is still nicely duct-taped up by a good samaritan. Nobody is going to go through that box!

Oh well you should know according to Bell, this is so cutting edge and revolutionary they can't share the details. You will be put in Bell jail for looking in such a box.

Post the pictures and then call Bell to get them to lock it up again. You don't want anyone messing with it especially if your line goes through there.

Sorry to break it to you but all DSL customers are already in general population so it is off to solitary confinement then.

Go ahead and post them if you want, Your probably not going to get in trouble.

Ive seen inside JWI's and im pretty sure I could guess fairly accurately what it looks like in the locked portion of the remote.

I would guess it probably has a serial port as well as a plastic chassis that is probably about 20-25cm tall, 3-5cm wide, I would imagine this is what the line card module looks like.

I would imagine they would be made this way to allow for a simple cost effective solution for upgrading to vdsl.

I could be wrong tho, If you post it we can know for sure.

This is considered nerd porn 'round these parts. No trouble in posting the pictures, it's just something cool for us curious people to drool over.

It's safe to say he'll be blacklisted for subscribing to Fibe.
