Frontier: FCC docket 26-115

Frontier has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering business copper phone services (business lines, PBX trunks, ISDN and similar) in Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, Mississippi, and Tennessee, as of September 8, 2026.

Nothing stopped this request, so under FCC rules it was approved automatically on June 21, 2026. The phone company still has to notify customers before it changes their service. FCC notice

We matched it to 88 telephone exchanges in 5 states. A filing that covers "portions" of a state doesn't list addresses, so a line in one of these towns may or may not be included.
