Lumen (CenturyLink): FCC docket 26-176
Lumen (CenturyLink) has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering legacy voice service in Iowa, Idaho and Utah, as of August 24, 2026.
Nothing stopped this request, so under FCC rules it was approved automatically on August 24, 2026. The phone company still has to notify customers before it changes their service. FCC notice
We matched it to 184 telephone exchanges in 3 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.
