You might as well start again.

FTTH using some form of PON neither needs the curb cabinets nor the VDSL
DSLAMs.

Apartment buildings are the best use of FTTN for values of "node" which
imply putting a VDSL cabinet in the basement to service the entire building.

Much like watching someone dig a trench and not drop conduit in it nor
install anything other than a single cable.
