Openreach CSP box - how many properties can it serve ?

[#1]

I live on a 4 house terrace and we’ve recently got fftp service added to our road. My immediate neighbour has just got connected with Plusnet and Openreach ran a cable from the street to a grey csp box mounted on the wall adjacent to our property at the centre of the terrace.

I’ve just recently place an fttp order with Plusnet. Can this csp be used to connect my house as well, or will a new one need to be installed ?

As an aside .. the original plan agreed by all of us with Openreach was to mount a junction box on a side wall to the terrace and then take cables from there to each property. The engineer obviously wasn’t aware if this and hence fitted the box outside my neighbours house instead, so i’m concerned that the current placement could require more cable runs than necessary if we all require individual csp boxes and cables up from the street …

@simopetar - I can't say for sure it's really all up to the engineer on the day. Unlike copper, there isn't so much need to be economic with it and my thoughts are that later on in a decade or so if things go south with the neighbours may make it easier for them to maintain/replace broken cables in future without the need for the neighbours permission etc. When the engineer is out would be the best time to discuss the options and pros and cons of sharing the CSP.
