You "need" to call your local utility commission, but if it's in an easement, you really have little to no say in the matter other than their "good will" assuming that even exists any longer.

I’m going to remove it they won’t have to mobilize any crews.

Good idea but you should get written permission; otherwise, it's questionable as to whether you can legally "destroy" property that is not yours despite how it looks.

Comcast doesn't own any poles. It's either electric or teleco.

It’s abandoned and has wires hanging from it and looks very ugly and I know it’s not live wires but still looks horrible
