Consolidated Communications has revealed plans to end its cable TV services by 2024. The company aims to focus more on its land-based broadband service business. Customers in some areas have been notified about the company’s decision. This change will affect less than 10 percent of its customer base, or fewer than 30,000 subscribers.
The company’s strategy is to prioritize fiber-first product offerings. This technology offers consumers and businesses a reliable solution with high bandwidth capacity. As a result, some older products, like linear TV services, will be discontinued. A company spokesperson confirmed this.
Consolidated Communications has started informing customers and local authorities about its plans. The company is also advising customers on how to switch to other pay television platforms, including streaming services.
Even though it’s discontinuing its cable TV product, Consolidated Communications will still offer Internet and phone services. This decision aligns with the company’s strategy to concentrate on its main business areas.
