There use to be some rules for placing the poles, one of them is that the poles may not be more than 20 meter apart.
It is not uncommon that they place one in the corner of your plot, your meter facing your plot. Gives them an opportunity to put your neighbors meter on the other side of the pole, facing his plot.
Their most important rule seems to be just that one, it should be obvious for them to whom the meter belong.
Hence, they don't allow long cables to a nearby pole.
