For Immediate Release
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.” ###
