tw - why would they put it outside if they can do it inside? The nema enclosures are so much more expensive and having the connections internal seems to be smarter anyway.

My neighbor had FIOS installed about 3 months ago, but the box is on the outside (front too) of the house. OH and the cheapest green "clay" blocks the moisture from entering the box. It looks terrible and doesn't really seal the whole in the bottom of the box either.
I haven't done that type of work in 20 years and I easily could have done a better job than that.
