How big of a pole
Also don't admit to shite
I don't know what happened to your pole

Absolutely this my brother in law had somehow cut a fiber line through his yard, they weren't customers, received legal notice and a bill for $35K or some shite. Absolutely amazing what these assholes can get away with.
I must know your brother in law.

I get that, but homeboy ain't pulling down a full sized utility pole with his Honda Ridgeline.

This is making me suspicious. The only "poles" I've ever seen are utility (electric) poles. I have never seen an "ATT" pole.

They’re around. A buddy of mine has one in his backyard. It used to be a bell south poll before ATT bought them. And yea it also has utilities

Utility easement/right of way? In many places, the first six or so feet off the street is fair game.

The electric utility and AT&T often share poles, occasionally the electric utility will replace a pole, setting it in a different spot, they will saw off the old pole right above where the phone lines attach and leave it like that. So it ends up being a short pole with just phone lines on it.

If we are talking about that then OP is definitely insane

I’d someone from AT&T did in fact tell you you could remove this, you’re going to want to get that audio that they record for “training purposes”.

Using a tire to pull out a tree is not a new hack. We used to use a model a tire rim to pull fence posts.

OP removed his post because video from his Ring camera was found
Posted on 3/22/21 at 7:49 pm to IHuntdux
Yeah, nobody saw that for over an hour while you had it up.
I'm sure you will be alright, OP.
I can't believe someone is dense enough to do that off the go ahead from someone at a customer service center.

have no doubt or problem believing some idiot on the random ATT customer service line said go ahead and yank the poll.
Then you sir, are a frickin moron. Every single call, with no exception is monitored and recorded.
No one, and I mean no one, would tell him to yank the pole. In fact, the liability and safety issues alone from him doing this just made this stupid a f. Do they outsource support? Yes. Unfortunately, it sounds like even the kids answering these calls in the Philippines are smarter than the OP.

OP deleted his post.
He scared now.
Posted on 3/22/21 at 7:58 pm to Ebridg3
i can't believe someone would actually think they could legally remove a public utility pole because it was in their yard

And he's gone. You know when this happens, someone needs to quote all of the contents once for posterity.

I was in your exact situation. Here’s what happened:
I took picture and wrote email advising of the safety hazard. I waited a week and then pulled it myself and cut the line. A day or two later AT&T called me and advised they would be collecting the repair fee. I showed them the picture and email and they said they would handle it internally. I never heard from them after that.
