    Similarly, in the US we have “telephone poles” to carry residential power lines, even if there are no telecom wires on them.

        But what do you call the actual wooden pole that holds the power lines? Like if someone hit the pole how would you describe it?

        Utility poles. Could carry electricity and/or telephone and/or cable tv. In some places it may be home to street lights, sirens, emergency signals, fiber optic cables & junctions/splitters, or other infrastructure.
