There are two different types of renewals with Lumen:

• Service renewal: Single or multiple services renewed separately under different agreements
• Customer renewal: All your services renewed together under a master service agreement (MSA)
  
  

To discuss your renewal options, please contact your account manager.

Note: We encourage you to contact us as early as possible to discuss your renewal so we can provide you with the most competitive offer prior to your service(s) term end date.

If your service has passed its contract term end date then it is referred to as an ‘out-of-term’ service. This means the service is no longer bound to a contract and should be renewed to avoid price increases.

Disconnects can only be raised for out of term services and take up to 30 business days from the submission date to be completed. If you decide to disconnect or terminate a service during the contractual term, an early termination charge will be applied. To raise a disconnect, use one of the methods below:

• Portal: Sign in to Contol Center. Click Services. Click Disconnect Request (in the Change Requests box). Click New Disconnect Request.
• Web: Online Disconnect Center
  
  

Note: If any of the services you wish to disconnect are associated to other existing Lumen services, please contact your account manager first to avoid incidents or outages.

To check the status of your disconnect, use one of the methods below:

• Portal: Sign in to Control Center. Click Services. Click View (in the Open Orders box). Click the order ID for your disconnect request.
• Web: Online Disconnect Center
