Comments Due June 25 on Discontinuance Application for Pittsburgh Suburb

Comments are due June 25 in docket 25-191 on Consolidated Communications’ request to discontinue legacy voice and DSL services in portions of Wexford, Pennsylvania, said a public notice posted Tuesday. The company needs to discontinue service because of a vehicle collision with its loop splitter cabinet, the application said. “Specifically, the damaged cabinet and power pedestal are located in a residential area and a recent power outage revealed that powering the cabinet with a standby generator is dangerous because of the damage to the power pedestal.” The legacy service will be replaced by “modern, fiber-based voice and broadband services,” the application said.
