discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and
the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily
discontinue service immediately.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation
of its business. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of
your telephone equipment, the telephone company will likely give you adequate
