They only do crazy things like that in the US. I couldn't believe the junk I saw 
strung up on the poles over there.

In the UK, almost everything is underground except high-voltage distribution 
lines, usually across rural areas. Some telephone lines are also still on poles, 
but only one or two from a distribution point to the house roofline.

Most phone lines are below ground, as are all cable lines.
