Nope, its definitely FTTN.

Ours isnt in this particular part of the town.

The part of the town that does have underground
power has green pillar things which are square roughly
every second house. Not that high, about 300mm

Yeah, but given we have overhead mains in my street, there
should be some obvious connection to that and there isnt.

Tho come to think of it, they did have a bucket truck at the
pole mounted big transformer across the road from the node.
I spose they likely did mole it under the road and its powered
from there. Must have a close look at the pole the transformer
is on, it should be visible up that pole if that's how its powered.
