FrogFolly, why not just call CenturyLink directly and ask about the installation and your concerns, which I think are valid. I saw installations at a couple of neighbors, and I do not recall seeing as AC powered equipment outside the house, the fiber optic modem was located in the low voltage cabinet in the garage, and the fiber was brought into the garage. If this was done recently, maybe this was due to the virus. I had to help a neighbor because Comcast would not go into the house to install equipment at the televisions, so maybe CL installed this way to avoid going into the garage as much as possible.
