To voluntarily stop service, call CityLink. Service will be disconnected within 24 hours, except on weekends and holidays. You must provide a forwarding address for delivery of your final bill.

To transfer service, call CityLink. Current residential and business customers can usually have service at a new address within 24 hours of a request. Larger businesses and most industrial customers may require more notice.
