Lumen (CenturyLink): FCC docket 26-135

Lumen (CenturyLink) has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering Plain Old Telephone Services, Primary Rate Interface Service, and Long Distance Service in Athens, Decatur, Harvest, Huntsville, Madison, and at Redstone Arensal, Alabama, as of September 8, 2026.

Nothing stopped this request, so under FCC rules it was approved automatically on July 18, 2026. The phone company still has to notify customers before it changes their service. FCC notice

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.
