In brief

What this company does

Qwest Corporation provides high speed broadband services to residential and small business customers utilizing its fiber-based network infrastructure. It also provides lower speed broadband services to residential and small business customers utilizing its copper-based network infrastructure. It delivers networking services built on ethernet technology, including point-to-point and multi-point equipment configurations that facilitate data transmissions across metropolitan areas and larger enterprise-class wide area networks. It operates various incumbent local exchange carriers, which are required under federal law to allow competitors to interconnect their facilities to the network and to take other steps designed to promote competition. It maintains local offices in most of the larger population centers within its local service area. As of December 31, 2025, it had approximately 9,100 employees, of which approximately 43% are members of either the Communications Workers of America or the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.

Written from the business description in QWEST CORP's annual report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, filed 20 February 2026. Every sentence was checked against that document before publication.
