Tucson, AZ, September 18, 2026 —
A 93-year-old resident living on Tucson’s Eastside has been experiencing significant and ongoing problems with her landline telephone service for close to three years. The issues, described as static and an unreliable connection, have persisted despite the resident paying over $100 each month for service from CenturyLink.
The prolonged service disruptions have led to considerable frustration for the senior and her family. Beyond the inconvenience, the unreliability of the landline has also raised safety concerns, particularly given the resident’s age.
Family members have reportedly attempted to address the persistent issues with the service provider, but the company has been described as unresponsive to the ongoing complaints. Details regarding specific attempts to contact CenturyLink, the nature of their responses, or a timeline for resolution were not provided.
The monthly cost for the service exceeds $100, adding financial strain to the recurring technical difficulties. The specific model of landline service or the exact equipment being used was not detailed. The duration of the problem, nearly three years, highlights a sustained period of service deficiency for the customer.
CenturyLink’s reported lack of responsiveness exacerbates the situation, leaving the resident and her family without a reliable communication tool that is often critical for seniors.
