Top wire is Electric
Center is Telephone
Bottom is Cable.
No
The top set of 3 wires are medium voltage line power.
The next down is a neutral.
The next is a secondary feeder, probably a street light.
The bottom is, as stated several times already, cable TV.

Yes a picture would be great. Make sure to take a pic of a pole with a transformer on it.

Dogwood See Profile is correct. The secondary feeder is pretty clearly duplex wire, hence 1 exposed wire (ground) and an insulated hot wire. It is almost exclusively used to feed street lights, thought it can be used anywhere that requires only a single voltage service.
