That’s “the box”.  As in “I unplugged the box”.

How about me calling my fiber drop splice enclosures on the side of the house a 
NID?

It’s almost the norm now, so you’d think I’d just get used to it, but if 
anything it bugs me more as time goes on.

 

Maybe if I’d made the switch to fiber I wouldn’t have to worry about antennas 
and what they’re called.  Probably there are annoyances in the fiber world as 
well.  Like the people who think “fiber optic” is better than “fiber”?  Or why 
is nothing a wire or cable anymore, it’s a “cord”?  But not having to hear 
about “satellites” and “modems” and “boosters” and “bouncing the signal” would 
be nice.
