Fibre installation different than traditional without external grey box?

Hi everyone.

Wanted ask about installations ways as the way ''external works'' done for me was different I was told and learned online.

So engineer removed one of two active copper lines ( to use its wall passthrough ) and straight from the telegraph pole installed wire *inside property . Not boxing it outside in that grey box but using small double pencil size housing ( I will attach photo) for wire indoors. Now I am still waiting for internal install.

So is this something common? Will this not mess up with some future works for property ?

Looks like a OFS compact Point of Entry box which is part of the OFS InvisiLight range. Believe Openreach usually uses this for MDU installations.

No it’s not, it’s an internal splice point. Usually used if the property is an upstairs flat or for any other reason where it’s not feasible to fit the normal external grey box.
