Consolidated Communications: FCC docket 26-7
Consolidated Communications has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering Legacy voice service at locations in five exchanges in Vermont that are passed by fiber, as of March 24, 2026.
Nothing stopped this request, so under FCC rules it was approved automatically on February 9, 2026. The phone company still has to notify customers before it changes their service. FCC notice
We matched it to 107 telephone exchanges 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.
