To OP, is that a question? Since the company is sending out notice on customers bills that they wont be able to make changes to their DSL accounts or get new service after 10-01-20 (Grandfathered) that should be a good sign that its days are numbered. Now whether that means they allow it until the electronics die and there simply is no reworked cards to get or they take a more active approach which recent rhetoric seems to indicate who knows. It could be sunset in 6 months or still working in 6 years. While I do not want anyone to lose internet I personally am glad that they are taking some action to k–l old products and services. How can you compete on cutting edge products when you are still selling and supporting the products you created 30 years ago.

Yeah, not many companies would line up to buy mostly empty, expensive to maintain facilities.

"ATT sells all landlines, just like Verizon? "

To who? Frontier is bankrupt and there aren't very many other potential purchasers.

ATT sells all landlines, just like Verizon? Blows-up the union, after it proves unions are worthless, in Federal court?
