if they are phone wires try calling the phone company with pole number

I did. The phone company says they "rent" the poles from the power
company. It's the power company I've been talking to for all this time.

I could go back and tell the phone company to remove "their rent" from
the pole, I guess.

That's an option. Thanks. I didn't really think of that. Maybe they can
put pressure on the power company then to remove their pole.

That's a good idea. That's the kind of ideas I was looking for.
