Internet service provider Frontier Communications announced Tuesday it was filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Gizmodo reports the company framed the move as a way to reduce its debt by more than $10 billion.
It plans to sell its operations in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana to Northwest Fiber for $1.4 billion by April 30th.
However, it will keep offering service in another 25 states, which includes California and New York.
