PSC Reminds Garden & Deuel County Residents
of August 19 Hearing
Lincoln, August 10, 2020 – The Nebraska Public Service Commission
(PSC) would like to remind residents in the telephone exchanges of
Oshkosh, Lewellen and Chappell that the PSC will hold a hearing
beginning at 12:30 p.m. (MDT),Wednesday, August 19, at the
Oshkosh Auditorium, 600 W. 2nd Street, in Oshkosh. This is the
second hearing by the Commission to investigate wireline service
quality issues.
During the first hearing held on April 19, 2019, the Commission
received testimony and exhibits from 12 CenturyLink subscribers
explaining various issues they had with CenturyLink wireline service.
CenturyLink also provided testimony in response during the 2019
hearing and committed to working with the Commission and the
subscribers to resolve wireline issues.
The Commission has determined a second hearing should be held
to explore whether the issues have been resolved and whether there
are any other wireline service quality issues consumers in the
Oshkosh, Lewellen and Chappell telephone exchanges are
experiencing.
“During our first hearing we heard from citizens about unburied
cables, along with service quality and customer service issues,”
said Commission Chair Mary Ridder. “If additional issues remain,
we are hoping subscribers will come and share their concerns
with us.” ###
