Verizon and Frontier: FCC docket 26-170

Verizon and Frontier has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering residential and business legacy TDM-based voice service throughout the former Frontier telephone service areas in Florida, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin, on or after November 16, 2026.

We matched it to 845 telephone exchanges in 8 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.
