Openreach and its predecessors are regulated differently from the cable companies so have always been able to use telegraph poles. Historically, a telephone was seen as an essential service and cable TV wasn't. Now, broadband is what matters and the regulator has even opened up access to BT's telegraph poles for cable TV companies.
