@OP yup Kate verified it in today’s email.
Not Iowa, AT&T bought Quantum Fiber and Lumen is closing down Centurylink.
All the good techs read the writing on the wall looooooong ago! Only ones left were the ones stuck and doing the duty to get to the bounty that awaits after a long career!
This company will run out of Money and will not survive. Good Riddance!
What happened to the remaining copper techs, if there were any left? Let go?
@d4 Apollo group bought legacy centurytel except for 2 states.
It didn't involve legacy qwest.
Didn't that get sold to Brightspeed? I thought Lumen sold off all or most of it's copper services a few years ago.
Can I recycle the copper?
