On my way into work this morning, noticed a few Fiber broadband advertising stickers on the Digital Region Cab's Big Grin

Anyone else noticed this?

RE: Advertising
I haven't noticed any so far. Are they actual Digital Region ones or the Origin Broadband ones that have been on some cabinets for a while?

RE: Advertising
Forgot to mention in my original post that the adverts that are on the Digital Region Cabs are actually promoting Fiber Broadband by OPENREACH
I'd get the Origin guys around ripping these off and tell em to use their own Cabs for advertising.

Funny that you mention that. I noticed some of these on cabinets near a friend of mine that I could have sworn were DRL cabs and not BTOR but just thought I might have been wrong all this time. Now you've made me wonder!

A digital region cabinet will have a small EU logo on it if that helps.

A REM cabinet (an offshoot of a main cab linked by fibre) will be smaller and thinner too - so the only real way to tell would be the branding or labelling on the cabinet. Some DR cabs are different colours for example.

Not seen any on DR cabs, but seen plenty on BT's own in my area.

well must admit saw BT advertising on their cabinets and Origin advertising on the DR cabinets and between the two the BT advert was more eye catching with it's vibrant colours against Origin's boring blue colours...

Agreed.

Also the Origin one you can't really tell what it says from a distance, the BT one its really clear when padding on a bus.
