Hello,
Working with the utility providers here has proven to be somewhat challenging. At first, it was slow with long waiting times and a lot of follow-up calls, then mostly quick, straightforward, and solution-oriented. I feel torn about it. However, the following problem has now arisen:
The regional network operator hastily and overenthusiastically moved the scheduled installation of the house connection box including the telecom mounting plate from the property boundary into the utility room. In principle, I’m glad it happened so quickly, but unfortunately a bit too quickly: the interior plaster is expected only by mid to late next week.
The wall where this is installed is an interior wall made of Poroton blocks. Behind it is the kitchen and the combined kitchen/dining/living area.
Do you see any issues besides aesthetic concerns with having it installed directly on this wall, considering the plasterer will have to work all around it?

Hello,
Working with the utility providers here has been somewhat challenging. At first, it was slow with long waiting times and lots of follow-up calls, but then things usually proceeded quickly, informally, and mostly in a solution-oriented way. I feel a bit torn about it. However, the following problem has now arisen:
The local network operator, acting spontaneously and somewhat overly eager, moved the scheduled installation of the house connection box along with the telecommunications panel from the property boundary into the utility room earlier than planned. In principle, I’m glad it happened so quickly, but unfortunately, it was a bit too soon: the interior plastering is expected to take place only in the middle to the end of next week.
The wall it is mounted on is an interior wall made of Poroton. Behind that is the kitchen and the kitchen/dining/living area.
Do you see any issues—aside from aesthetic concerns—with having it installed directly on this wall while the plasterer still needs to work around it? @DerGuteTon Can you tell me the name of the box in your picture from which the 4 connections are coming out?

If the area behind the utility connection box cannot be properly plastered, airtightness is compromised.
That would be like having a hole in the vapor barrier. Judging by the photo, this is not an exterior wall, so it does not matter.
