Consolidated Communications: FCC docket 26-61
Consolidated Communications has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering Legacy voice service at locations in one exchange in Illinois that are passed by fiber, as of June 2, 2026.
Nothing stopped this request, so under FCC rules it was approved automatically on April 16, 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.
