The picture in the article makes that particular box look nearly 5ft tall. Although I could be wrong... with that tiny little "fence" to the right and the low angle of the shot.

Those tiny fences go around tree boxes. See »petworth.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com···7959.jpg

Are we sure the box pictured really is a Comcast box? It looks more like a signal light cabinet or older telephone cabinet than a typical node enclosure or power supply / battery enclosure.

Yes. They're used in DC and I suspect many other cities.

Here is the inside of one at 14th and U NW.
