Lumen (CenturyLink): FCC docket 26-247
Lumen (CenturyLink) has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering phone lines on the copper network (legacy voice service) in a portion of the Fort Wingate, New Mexico wire center, on or after December 7, 2026.
Nothing stopped this request, so under FCC rules it was approved automatically on October 22, 2026. The phone company still has to notify customers before it changes their service. FCC notice
We matched it to 1 telephone exchange in 1 state. 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.
