Re: Fibre for Exchange-Only lines : no chance!

I thought they were putting in new "cabinets" at the exchange for exchange only lines?

In some places, yes. Unfortunately it depends on the nature of the EO lines. If the properties being served are close to the exchange then a cabinet will be worthwhile. But some EO lines are serving distant properties like farms or small villages. In those cases a new cabinet outside the exchange does nothing. And if the lines fan out from the exchange there may be no single point where enough EO lines are in the same place to justify installing a cabinet.
