FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PSC to Hold Second Hearing in Oshkosh
Lincoln, July 30, 2020 – The Nebraska Public Service
Commission has issued an Order setting a second
hearing date to investigate service quality issues in
the Oshkosh, Lewellen and Chappell telephone
exchanges. The hearing will be held beginning at
12:30 (MDT), on Wednesday, August 19, at the
Oshkosh Auditorium, 600 W 2nd Street, Oshkosh.
On April 18, 2019, the Commission held a public hearing
in Oshkosh where it received testimony and exhibits from
12 CenturyLink subscribers explaining various issues they
had with CenturyLink wireline service. CenturyLink also
provided testimony in response during that hearing and
committed to working with the Commission and the
subscribers to resolve wireline service quality issues.
At the current time the Commission finds that a second
hearing should be held to determine whether the issues
have been resolved and whether there are any other
wireline service quality issues consumers in that community
are experiencing.
Commission Chair Mary Ridder said, “We hope that by
holding a second hearing we can ensure subscriber concerns
have been answered and if not, put a plan in place so that
these matters are resolved.” ###
