Lumen (CenturyLink): FCC docket 25-161
Lumen (CenturyLink) has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering business copper phone services (business lines, PBX trunks, ISDN and similar) in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, West Virginia, and Wyoming, as of July 10, 2025.
This filing comes from a company that sells lines over another phone company's network, or it names cities or customers rather than telephone exchanges, so we don't match it to town pages. If you buy phone lines from Lumen (CenturyLink), it applies to you; the FCC docket has the full details.
