Fine, they have 10kV lines not telephony.
There will still need to be poles for the telephony. Those cannot be safely shared.

People possibly think it is like putting in a 6 foot fence post, i.e. small hole, a little cement and bobs your uncle.

There are no telephone poles and given the location and that properties further back down the road are overhead provided there is unlikely to be any duct.
I'd hazard a guess that there never has been a line there.
according to the article there was one in the past.

and why does it cost BT £660 to install a pole? thats another silly figure. Have you ever tried to buy a wooden pole thirty feet (or more) long and nearly a foot in diameter?
Look under "Stout"
the prices I see there for something suitable is a lot lower than £660 and BT on top of that would get a bulk discount of some sort.

But supposedly the previous occupants did have a line according to the article
And I am suggesting that may not be the case
I never take media stories for granted as fact

Bulk discount... probably, but it won't be very much.

A 250mm hole, 1.6 to 1.8 m deep, straight and vertical is easy - with a decent auger and can take an hour. Fit the metal work to the top, lift pole and drop into hole - ramming it further down too, fill and gaps and compact.
As you say a nice simple job that anyone could do in a few minutes!

For that location it would be a minimum of medium and possibly stout - dependent on the climate. 10M pole £315 or £420 At least 2 hours per pole - so three per day including travelling. A 4 man team charged at around £240 to £300 each per day so around £320 per pole and immediately it is in the £650 per pole region.
