We're not allowed to touch the comms lines when we do electrical work. Frontier and most other comms companies are so understaffed that they can't keep up even with hiring contractors. And they will definitely openly lie and say they haven't been notified of a pole needing transfered because it's cheaper for them to ignore it and eat the fine. We have entire crews that exist just to go around and pull the old pole butts out of the ground. When I was a part of one at least 30% of the poles we arrived at were poles frontier told us were ready to be pulled that had not yet been transfered.
