ANNOUNCEMENTS
10 Digit Dialing
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the creation of 988 as the 3-digit abbreviated dialing code to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline starting on July 16,2022. To implement this change Nationwide, all states where 988 is a working prefix (including Vermont and New Hampshire), must implement mandatory 10-digit dialing for all local calls by October 24, 2021.
The new dialing procedure to complete local calls within your area will require you dial the 802 + the 7-digit number for Vermont or 603 + the 7-digit number for New Hampshire. This will likely include all pager numbers. If you hear a call cannot be completed as dialed recording when dialing a local number, please hang up and redial with the area code first.
It is important you update your phone contacts, call forwarding numbers and equipment set to dial 7-digit numbers. Most carriers already accept 10-digit local dialing so you should be able to program and test the change in advance of the October deadline.

On 1/17/22 we experienced a major 12-hour outage. All services went down at ~9AM and were restored at ~9PM.
A tree had fallen and broke our main fiber optic cable up by the Corinth Fire Dept.
The storm made repairs difficult and lengthy.
Thanks to our own Chris Davis and Vance Line Construction for a job well done!

Notice of Continued Digital TV Service
Dear Valued Digital TV Customer,
Topsham Communications will continue to provide Digital TV Service to its customers and to seek renewal of its cable TV license from the Vermont Public Utility Commission. Please disregard our previous announcement of service cancellation.
The decision to continue our Digital TV Service is a difficult one. The market for cable television services is rapidly changing as more and more customers “cut the cord.” Declining customer revenues limit our options for network upgrades, even as our antiquated facilities have reached the effective end of their useful life. These challenges drove our initial cancellation decision and will continue to affect our Digital TV Service going forward.
Please be patient with us as we explore options for continuing our Digital TV Service under a renewed license. We have heard from many of you and share the concerns you have raised. We value you as customers and understand that our service has not always met the standards you have come to expect of our company.
We will continue to communicate with you as we face the challenges of providing Digital TV Service to you. Please contact me with your questions and concerns. We also hope you will take the opportunity to comment on our license renewal in upcoming proceedings before the Vermont Public Utility Commission.
Thank you for your business.
Best,
Bryan Marteeny
