yes.
Only for new installations
Climbing a power pole requires a hugely different safety regime from
skinning up a telephone pole.
Historically, when the suppliers were all nationalised there were
occasions where telephone cables were added onto electric poles,
usually done in the era when a lot fewer people had phones so
installing new poles just for one new subscriber wouldn't be
cost effective.
There are loads of telephone cables sharing electricity poles near me
what a bodge
Our own telephone cable also comes via an electricity pole too, though
it starts life on a BT pole the other side of the road.
If/when that gets replaced by FTTP, are you saying it'll have to run
either directly from BT's own pole (and not involve the electricity pole)?
If its 'always been done that way' my guess is it will still be done
that way!

(or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans,
about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and
the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a
'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,'
a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for
rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet
things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that
you live neither in Joseph Stalins Communist era, nor in the Orwellian
utopia of 1984.
