“Can I just cut them myself?”

“Dear PoPville,

Has anyone had excess phone lines removed from their house? I have four different wires running from the telephone poles to my home. I know these lines are phone lines and not power or internet. These wires are now running right through a tree, drastically increasing the price of a tree trimming service. I was wondering if anyone dealt with this before, how do I get rid of them? Can I just cut them myself?”
