Consolidated Communications: FCC docket 26-225
Consolidated Communications has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering legacy voice service at locations in 48 exchanges in Maine and 36 exchanges in New Hampshire that are passed by fiber, as of November 3, 2026.
Nothing stopped this request, so under FCC rules it was approved automatically on September 27, 2026. The phone company still has to notify customers before it changes their service. FCC notice
We matched it to 295 telephone exchanges in 2 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.
