I also had the same issue and found great delight in removing this last poxy remnant of BT from my property. In fact I've recently had my soffits and gutters replaced so had the rest of their rubbish removed also and if I could get away with it, I'd do the same to all of the other BT cables that come across my land (to adjacent properties) also. 
Deep joy

My removal was for the same reason as yours replacement of my soffits and fascia boards as the other option was cutting around the connection.
I have no intention of a return to BT so glad to see the end of them, the cable was removed some time over the following months and no one knocked at my door.
