AT&T's letters to customers state that the company intends to discontinue home phone service in June 2027. The company has been pursuing eliminating its entire legacy copper landline system across the state to replace it with advanced fiber optic networks.
Last August, a bill moving through the California Assembly would have allowed AT&T to pursue seeking relief from its COLR status. As of August 29, 2025, Assembly Bill 470 was "in committee, held under submission," meaning a vote on it has been delayed. According to the California Legislature's website, no further action on the bill has been made since.
Nevada County Supervisor Sue Hoek says AT&T's letters are wrong.
Julie Cobden lives in Nevada City and has had her AT&T landline for 53 years. At 80, she considers her home phone as much a part of her life as her home.
AT&T issued a statement saying, "We are only upgrading customers in areas where there is reliable connectivity available from AT&T, and we are not discontinuing customers in rural areas without reliable wireless coverage."
If you have a landline and you don't want to see it go, the period to file comments to the FCC runs through July 17.
