AT&T: FCC docket 26-201

AT&T has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering home phone lines on the copper network in portions of certain wire centers in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, as of September 30, 2026.

Nothing stopped this request, so under FCC rules it was approved automatically on September 14, 2026. The phone company still has to notify customers before it changes their service. FCC notice

We matched it to 456 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.
