Are BT responsible for maintaining their lines to be kept clear?

No, but if someones tree is causing you a "nuisance" you are entitled to adapt the "nuisance", IE overhanging branches from next doors tree can be removed. -

Yes, your line and your trees, your responsible, but your trees and someone else's line BT's lookout. -

Who mentioned XP saws?? is it only fitted to them?? I've only seen it at the APF, did not look of uses to me, but thought it could be OK for those less familiar with saws.

Are hobby/ocational users really "snedding"??

As far as I'm aware yes, BT chose to run a wire over your land and through you trees to someone else so thats BT's choice, if you want BT to run a line to you, your responsible for the section over your land (or can be) -
