1000 metres

A single light is 415?

No we use only one phase at a time. It is 415v in the column and we pick a single phase off to give 240

What is that brand?

Also, I couldn't work out how these new streetlights help to distribute the new super fast internet. Does each house just take a cable from the nearest lamp post?

the new cable that you can see on the drum is a new type of cable designed specifically for these new type of street lights. It contains 26 fibre optics and has data lines in as well as dc power for the lights. We install some pretty big servers that are housed at the end of each run, these are similar to the 5g towers that you see dotted around which transmits the wifi. It is all brand new and we are the first to test them here in the Uk. They are American and the most amazing lights ever been invented.
