As touched upon above ......... the preferred method is to 'drop a cab' generally just outside the Exchange, to 'pick up' the EO feed cable. Then, at the side of that new cab, the VDSL cab is installed and FTTC is the available.
There are a tiny percentage of 'combined cabs' whereby the EO cable and the VDSL equipment (DSLAM) are sited in the same cab. I've never seen one, but they do exist.
