BT have been busy here, a lot of poles are being replaced, some are
being replaced with metal ones. Almost every week for the last couple of
months, there have been notices going up on different pole to say they
are going to be renewed. As for phone lines, you are right there, as
they are not touched, apart from reconnecting them back to the pole.

My cable should have been replaced 33-4 years ago and still nothing have
been done.

But I agree with you, normally BT do not touch thepoles, I got no idea
why they are around here.
