The plan already is to absolve themselves of copper. A bankruptcy has zero impact on that. The services will continue to work and customers will continue there service through any bankruptcy settlement. Whether its copper or fiber or hosting.
@e1 No openings for them.
Ha ha! And then all those people spunoff to Brightspeed will come back to get the chop.
@d5 haha, thanks for the laugh, I needed that. Haven't laughed much since 7/1/2026.
New name for Brightspeed-Dimslow..
Lumen has a planned bankruptcy in 2027.
It's an easy way out to shutdown all copper services.
Lumen drove most of those areas into the ground and to big of a hole to dig out of. Then to top it off brought over some of the worst management from Lumen with the d-mbest ideas and made them VP's. Feel bad for the works and customers.
