Cancellation Consolidated Communications: Easy Method
What is Consolidated Communications
Consolidated Communications is a telecommunications company that provides internet, phone and related services to residential and business customers in the United States and some international markets. It operates as a service provider with contract terms, billing cycles, and equipment policies that govern service delivery and termination.
Although not headquartered in Canada, Canadian customers or residents seeking to cancel services should follow Consolidated Communications' contractual requirements and, where applicable, Canadian consumer-protection channels for disputes or complaints.
How to cancel Consolidated Communications
- Gather your account details: account number, account holder name, service address, and any PIN or security information.
- Decide whether you need to port a phone number - request porting before you cancel to avoid losing the number.
- Contact Consolidated Communications by phone to speak with customer service for an immediate cancellation request and a service termination date; record the representative’s name, date and time.
- Send a written cancellation notice by registered mail (raccomandata A/R) to ensure legally verifiable delivery. Use the address: Consolidated Communications Attn: Customer Service 121 S. 17th Street Mattoon, Illinois 61938 United States.
- If the Terms & Conditions include a specific section (for example Section 13) stating that email is not valid legal notice, do not rely on email alone - use registered mail or another contractually permitted method.
- Return any rented equipment per the company’s instructions and keep tracking information; confirm final billing and any early-termination or return charges in writing.
What happens when you cancel
When you cancel, your service will be scheduled for termination on the date confirmed by Consolidated Communications. Access to internet, voice and any associated services will end on that termination date; any services still in use after that date may be billed according to the account terms.
Final billing typically includes prorated charges to the termination date, applicable early termination fees if the contract allows them, and any outstanding equipment or account balances. Personal data tied to the account may be retained or deleted in accordance with the company’s privacy policy and applicable law; if you require deletion or information about retained records, request it in writing.
Will I get a refund?
Refunds depend on your contract, billing cycle and the company’s refund policy. Many providers prorate charges and issue refunds for prepaid periods after termination, but early termination fees or unpaid balances can offset or eliminate refunds. Equipment charges or unreturned equipment fees can also reduce refundable amounts.
Exceptions may apply for billing errors or if you cancel due to a material service outage or a misrepresented service at signup; such circumstances are often handled on a case-by-case basis and may require documentation or a dispute process.

Your consumer rights in Canada
Canadian consumers are protected by federal and provincial consumer-protection laws and by telecom-specific regulators. While Consolidated Communications is a U.S.-based provider, Canadian customers should expect clear disclosure of terms, fees and cancellation policies. If you purchase services from a provider that operates in or serves Canadian customers, provincial consumer protection acts may apply to unfair practices, misrepresentations and contract terms.
You have the right to challenge billing errors, request contract disclosures, and seek remedies for service failures. For telecom-specific complaints, the Commission for Complaints for Telecom-television Services (CCTS) accepts escalated disputes when a provider will not resolve an issue. Privacy of personal information is governed by federal and provincial privacy laws (for example PIPEDA and applicable provincial statutes), which give you rights to access and request correction of your personal data.
Customer experiences
Customer reports about cancellations are mixed. Some customers find phone cancellations straightforward and receive timely final bills and equipment return instructions; others report difficulty obtaining clear written confirmation or consistent explanations of early termination fees. Customers who send registered mail and keep records typically have stronger evidence in disputes.
Experiences also vary by account type - business accounts and long-term promotional contracts often involve more complex termination fees and equipment clauses than month-to-month residential plans.
Documentation checklist
- Account number, account holder name, service address and security PIN
- Written cancellation request copy and registered-mail receipt or tracking number
- Notes from any cancellation calls (representative name, date, time, confirmation number)
- Equipment return receipts or tracking information
- Final invoice and any correspondence on fees or refunds
Common mistakes
Common mistakes include assuming email confirmation is sufficient when the contract requires registered mail or another specific method; failing to port a phone number before cancelling and thus losing the number; neglecting to return rented equipment and later being charged replacement fees; and not documenting conversations with customer service. For example, a customer who cancels by email only and later disputes an early termination fee may find email does not meet the contract’s notice requirements, making the dispute harder to win.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Registered Mail (written notice) | Possible prorated refund; strongest proof in disputes | Low to Medium - reliable but slower |
| Phone | May receive immediate termination date; refunds depend on billing cycle | Low - convenient, but proof depends on call records and confirmation numbers |
| Online account / Email | Varies - may not qualify as legal notice if contract disallows | Medium - convenient but potentially weaker evidence |
After cancelling
After you cancel, confirm the final bill and keep proof of account closure and any refund or charge. If you have unresolved billing or service-dispute issues, escalate to Consolidated Communications’ formal complaints process and, if necessary, to Canadian complaint channels such as the CCTS for telecom issues or your provincial consumer protection office. Keep all correspondence, receipts and tracking numbers in case you need to prove notice or seek remedies.
