Original Date Posted:

Summary:

Copper Retirements are necessary to respond to various factors in the Outside Plant, including road construction, maintenance problems, and growth accommodation. Replacement cables may be either copper or fiber. Specific information will be provided with each disclosure.

Specific Information Relevant to Public Notice No. 832

Because a local municipal authority is mandating that CenturyLink QC remove its facilities from the relevant location on U.S. Highway 75, this network change notice necessitates a reduced waiting period. In order to minimize the impact of such a reduced waiting period, Direct Notice was sent to all directly interconnected telephone exchange service providers on December 9, 2019. As required by FCC rule 51.333(g)(2)(ii), CenturyLink stands ready to communicate with and is willing to work with our customers to ease the transition. If you require additional time for this transition, please contact your service manager.

Description of any changes in rates, terms or conditions that will accompany the planned change(s):

As a general matter, the retirement of these copper facilities will not result in changes to rates, terms and conditions in cases where the affected service is converted to a like-for-like service that is available on the replacement fiber or copper facilities. Interconnecting entities, however, should review the applicable tariff or agreement for certain terms that may apply specifically in cases where the service is provisioned on fiber. In cases where interconnecting entities elect to replace the affected service with an alternative service that CenturyLink QC offers on fiber facilities, the rates, terms and conditions will be as set forth in the tariff or agreement under which CenturyLink offers the replacement service that the interconnecting entity selects. CenturyLink, separately from this notice, will provide interconnecting entities with further information regarding service migration options that CenturyLink offers.

Road construction forces CenturyLink to abandon its copper cables and transfer compatible working services to a Fiber Based Access to its customers.

All Unbundled Copper Loops including DS-0 Channels will no longer be supported once the facilities are cut over to the Fiber To The Home architecture.
