How to request moving Xfinity lines to new utility pole

PG&E installed a new utility pole in front of my house and cut the damaged and dangerous old pole down to the level of the communication cables.  The crew explained that Xfinity needs to move their wiring and then remove the old pole.  Will that happen automatically, or do I need to make a formal request?  The double poles are very unsightly, so I am anxious to make this happen.  Thanks for any advice!

@user_332bb5 We can get a ticket in to get those service lines moved from the existing pole to the new one. Our technicians will not remove the old pole once the lines are moved. You would need to reach out to PG&E to complete that process. If you could please send me a DM with your first and last name along with your full-service address, we can get started working on that ticket.

I am also having to move overhead lines to new set of poles, the poles had to be taken down for a new neighbor home being built. How do I get a ticket in for that request?
