Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Lumos Networks Operating Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and all of Lumos Networks Operating Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and those limited liability corporations where Lumos Networks Operating Company or certain of its subsidiaries, as managing member, exercise control. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly in all material respects the Company’s financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented on the respective condensed consolidated financial statements included herein. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . Accounting Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of fixed assets, the allowance for doubtful accounts and customer credits, deferred tax assets, asset retirement obligations, stock warrants and equity-based compensation, goodwill impairment assessments, contingent consideration obligations, reserves for employee benefit obligations and income tax uncertainties. Changes in Accounting Principle In January 2017, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”), which is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after September 1, 2016. ASU 2015-02 provides a revised consolidation model for all reporting entities to use in evaluating whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities will be subject to reevaluation under this revised consolidation model. The revised consolidation model, among other things, (i) modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs, or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, and (iii) modifies the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs through fee arrangements and related party relationships. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were not impacted by the adoption of ASU 2015-02. Additionally, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (“ASU 2016-09”) in January 2017, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions and is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Among other things, ASU 2016-09 provides for (i) the simplification of accounting presentation of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies, (ii) an accounting policy election regarding forfeitures to use an estimate or account for when incurred, and (iii) simplification of cash flow presentation for statutory tax rate withholding. The adoption of ASU 2016-09, which resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits through the condensed consolidated statement of operations and an accounting policy election made by the Company to eliminate the use of a forfeiture estimate and recognize forfeitures as they occur, resulted in the recognition of a c umulative effect adjustment with a $1.6 million impact to accumulated deficit and a $1.9 million total impact to stockholders’ equity and deferred income taxes. There was no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, the condensed consolidated statement of operations, or net loss or earnings (loss) per share. The adoption of the accounting policy election to record forfeitures as incurred and the recognition of excess tax benefits in the condensed consolidated statement of operations may increase the volatility of net income (loss). Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services are rendered or products are delivered, installed and functional, as applicable, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Certain services of the Company require payment in advance of service performance. In such cases, the Company records a service liability at the time of billing and subsequently recognizes revenue ratably over the service period. The Company bills customers certain transactional taxes on service revenues. These transactional taxes are not included in reported revenues as they are recognized as liabilities at the time customers are billed. The Company earns revenue by providing services through access to and usage of its networks. Local service revenues are recognized as services are provided. Carrier data revenues are earned by providing switched access and other switched and dedicated services to other carriers. Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities The Company considers its investment in all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company’s marketable securities at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consist of debt securities not classified as cash equivalents. The Company classifies such debt securities as either held-to-maturity, when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity, or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity debt securities are carried at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income or loss, net of tax. All of the Company’s debt securities not classified as cash equivalents were classified as available-for-sale securities as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . Trade Accounts Receivable The Company sells its services to other communication carriers and to business and residential customers primarily in Virginia and West Virginia and portions of other states in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The Company has credit and collection policies to maximize collection of trade receivables and requires advance payment for certain services. The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of specific customers with large receivable balances and for the remaining customer receivables the Company uses historical results, current and expected trends and changes in credit policies. Management believes the allowance adequately covers all anticipated losses with respect to trade receivables. Actual credit losses could differ from such estimates. The Company includes bad debt expense in selling, general and administrative in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Bad debt expense for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $0. 1 million . The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and customer credits was $0.9 million as of both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . The following table presents a roll-forward of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and customer credits from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017 : Additions (In thousands) December 31, 2016 Charged to Expense Charged to Other Accounts Deductions March 31, 2017 Allowance for doubtful accounts and customer credits $ 942 $ 107 $ 72 $ (193) $ 928 Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets (Excluding Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets) Property, plant and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets and long-term deferred charges are recorded at cost and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount should be evaluated pursuant to the subsequent measurement guidance described in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-35. Impairment is determined by comparing the carrying value of these long-lived assets to management’s best estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the excess of the asset’s carrying value over the estimated fair value is recorded as an impairment charge. The Company believes that no impairment indicators exist as of March 31, 2017 that would require the Company to perform impairment testing for long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, long-term deferred charges and finite-lived intangible assets to be held and used. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which the Company reviews and updates based on historical experiences and future expectations. Plant and equipment held under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Amortization of assets held under capital leases, including an indefeasible right of use agreement, is included with depreciation expense. Intangibles with a finite life are classified as other intangibles on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , other intangibles were comprised of the following: March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 (Dollars in thousands) Estimated Life Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Customer relationships 6 to 15 yrs $ 115,808 $ (96,488) $ 103,108 $ (95,463) Trademarks and franchise rights 4 to 15 yrs 3,262 (2,069) 2,862 (2,004) Non-compete Agreements 2 to 3 yrs 30 (3) - - Total $ 119,100 $ (98,560) $ 105,970 $ (97,467) Included in the above amounts are indefinite-lived intangible assets of $0.3 million, which are not subject to amortization. The Company amortizes its finite-lived intangible assets using the straight-line method unless it determines that another systematic method is more appropriate. The Company generally amortizes certain customer relationship intangibles and some acquired trademarks using an accelerated amortization method based on the pattern of estimated earnings from these assets. The estimated life of amortizable intangible assets is determined from the unique factors specific to each asset, and the Company periodically reviews and updates estimated lives based on current events and future expectations. The Company capitalizes costs incurred to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible asset and amortizes such costs over the remaining life of the asset. No such costs were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 . Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $ 1.1 million and $ 0. 6 million, respectively. Amortization expense for the remainder of 2017 and for the next five years is expected to be as follows: (In thousands) Customer Relationships Trademarks and Franchise Rights Non-compete Agreements Total Remainder of 2017 $ 3,460 $ 205 $ 9 $ 3,674 2018 3,727 270 12 4,009 2019 3,443 247 6 3,696 2020 2,922 115 - 3,037 2021 2,531 25 - 2,556 2022 1,195 - - 1,195 Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Goodwill and certain trademarks are considered to be indefinite-lived intangible assets. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization but are instead tested for impairment annually or more frequently if an event indicates that the asset might be impaired. The Company’s policy is to assess the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets annually on October 1 and whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company believes there have been no events or circumstances to cause it to evaluate the carrying amount of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2017 . Pension Benefits and Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions The Company sponsors a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) covering all employees who meet eligibility requirements and were employed prior to October 1, 2003. The Company froze the Pension Plan effective December 31, 2012. As such, no further benefits are being accrued by participants for services rendered beyond that date. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , the components of the Company’s net periodic benefit (income) cost for the Pension Plan were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, (In thousands) 2017 2016 Service cost $ - $ - Interest cost 648 674 Expected return on plan assets (912) (884) Amortization of loss 236 262 Net periodic benefit (income) cost $ (28) $ 52 Pension Plan assets were valued at $56.4 million and $55.6 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. No funding contributions were made during the three months ended March 31, 2017 , and the Company does not expect to make a funding contribution during the remainder of 2017. The Company also provides life insurance benefits for retired employees who meet eligibility requirements through two postretirement welfare benefit plans (the “Other Postretirement Benefit Plans”). The Company had provided retiree medical benefits under these plans until those benefits were terminated effective December 31, 201 4. The Company did not incur any significant costs associated with these plans during the three months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016. The Company recognized expense for certain nonqualified pension plans for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 of $0.1 million , and less than $0.1 million of this expense for each of these periods relates to the amortization of actuarial loss. The gross amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss related to amortization of actuarial losses for retirement plans for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $ 0 .3 million, all of which has been reclassified to selling, general and administrative on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Income taxes associated with these reclassifications were $0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Equity-based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based employee compensation plans under FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation . Equity-based compensation expense from share-based equity awards is recorded with an offsetting increase to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For equity awards with only service conditions, the Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Total equity-based compensation expense related to all of the share-based awards, annual employee bonuses paid in the form of immediately vested shares and the Company’s 401(k) matching contributions was $ 6.8 million and $ 5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, which amounts are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Future charges for equity-based compensation related to instruments outstanding at March 31, 2017 are estimated to be $3.4 million for the remainder of 2017, $ 2.1 million in 2018, $ 0.7 million in 2019 and less than $ 0.1 million in 2020 and thereafter. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value or for certain financial instruments for which disclosure of fair value is required, the Company uses fair value techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Those judgments are developed by the Company based on the best information available in the circumstances, including expected cash flows and appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates, available observable and unobservable inputs. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy with three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: · Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. · Level 2 – Unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. · Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for public business entities from annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”), which clarifies implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”), which clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance contained in ASU 2014-09. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”), which addresses narrow-scope improvements to the guidance on collectability, noncash consideration, and completed contracts at transition. Additionally, the amendments in ASU 2016-12 provide a practical expedient for contract modifications at transition and an accounting policy election related to the presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers. Finally, in December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with customers, which makes minor corrections or improvements to ASU 2014-09. In 2016, the Company identified a project team and commenced an initial impact assessment process for ASU 2014-09. To date, the Company has reviewed a sample of contracts with its customers and made preliminary assessments of the impact on revenue and expenses based on these reviews; however, the assessment of the impact to the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows as a result of this guidance is ongoing. Additionally, ASU 2014-09 requires increased disclosure, which in turn may require changes to processes and systems. The Company expects to complete its impact assessment in the second quarter of 2017, at which time it will develop an implementation plan to include any potential process or system changes. The Company will adopt this new standard as of January 1, 2018 and currently expects to apply the modified retrospective method, which may result in a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Both the Company’s initial assessment and its selected transition method may change depending on the results of the Company’s final assessment of the impact to its financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). The standard addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not expect the future adoption of ASU 2016-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which will replace most existing lease guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on the consolidated balance sheets of the lessee. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2016-02 requires the use of a modified retrospective transition method with elective reliefs. The Company is still evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) (“ASU 2016-15”), which addresses eight classification issues related to the statement of cash flows presentation, with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. The amendments in this ASU provide guidance on the following cash flow issues: 1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; 2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments; 3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; 4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; 5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; 6) distributions received from equity method investees; 7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and 8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Although the Company is still evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-15 will have on its statement of cash flow and disclosures, the Company expects the standard will primarily impact the presentation of the earnouts associated with the business acquisitions completed in January 2017. Their presentation in accordance with ASU 2016-15 would depend on whether they were deemed to be paid soon after the acquisition. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under 2017-04, goodwill will be measured using the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for public business entities for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2019, with early adoption permitted for goodwill impairment tests with measurement dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the future adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |

EQT Merger | Note 3. EQT Merger On February 18, 2017, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement by and among the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, pursuant to which the Company will be acquired by EQT Infrastructure. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent. As a result of the Merger, Lumos Networks will cease to be a publicly traded company, and the directors of Merger Sub will continue as the directors of the surviving corporation. At the effective time of the EQT Merger, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock will be converted automatically into the right to receive $18.00 in cash, which amount the Company refers to as the “Merger Consideration,” without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. The completion of the EQT Merger, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2017, is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, (ii) the approval of the transaction by the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”), (iii) the filing of a voluntary notice with CFIUS and investigative procedures as deemed necessary by the agency, (iv) the provision of all required notices to applicable state public utility commissions and approval in return as required, (v) the expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (“HSR Act”), as amended, (vi) the absence of any proceeding, order or law enjoining or prohibiting the EQT Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (vii) each party’s material performance of its obligations and compliance with its covenants, (viii) the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties, subject to customary materiality qualifiers, and (ix) the absence of a material adverse effect on the Company. The HSR Act waiting period expired on April 3, 2017. The consummation of the EQT Merger is not subject to a financing condition, although the funding of the equity financing and the debt financing is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the applicable commitment letter under which such financing will be provided. Under the Merger Agreement, if t he Merger Agreement is terminated by the Company under specific circumstances, the Company may be required to pay Parent a termination fee of approximately $16.1 million and if the Merger Agreement is terminated by Parent under specific circumstances, the Parent may be required to pay a termination fee of approximately $32.1 million to the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , the Company incurred $2.8 million in acquisition and merger related charges associated with the EQT Merger, which consist primarily of professional fees incurred from legal and investment banking services, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. |

Business Combination, Separately Recognized Transactions [Abstract] | |
Business Acquisitions | Note 4. Business Acquisitions On January 4, 2017 , the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in Clarity Communications, LLC, (“Clarity”), a North Carolina based fiber bandwidth provider, for a total purchase price of up to approximately $15 million, approximately $10 million of which was paid in cash upon closing with the remaining $5 million subject to certain earnout provisions over a two year period following the closing date, which would be accelerated upon a change in control . The earnout provisions are based upon achievement of certain monthly recurring revenue targets within the two year measurement period and are presented within other long-term liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Clarity operates a 730 mile fiber network with 75 on-net locations, a majority of which are located in North Carolina, with additional operations in South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia. The acquisition of Clarity was funded using cash on hand and was considered an asset purchase for tax purposes. On January 31, 2017 , the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in DC74 LLC, (“DC74”), a Charlotte, North Carolina based data center and managed services provider, for a total purchase price of up to $29.5 million, consisting of approximately $23.5 million paid in cash upon closing and up to $6 million subject to certain earnout provisions over a 12-month period following the closing date, which would vest upon a change in control. The earnout provisions are based upon achievement of certain monthly recurring revenue targets within the one year measurement period and are presented within other accrued liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. DC74 provides co-location, bandwidth and cross-connect services in addition to managed services and managed hosting at its three data centers. The acquisition of DC74 was funded using cash on hand and was considered an asset purchase for tax purposes. The Company has accounted for the acquisitions of Clarity and DC74 under the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, and will account for any measurement period adjustments under ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisitions based on their estimated fair values. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company initially recognized the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the aforementioned acquisitions based on preliminary estimates of their acquisition date fair values. As additional information regarding the acquired assets and assumed liabilities becomes known, management may make adjustments to the opening balance sheets of the acquired companies up to the end of the measurement period, which is no longer than a one-year period following the acquisition date. The determination of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities (and the related determination of estimated lives of depreciable tangible and identifiable intangible assets) requires significant judgment. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had not completed its fair value analyses and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to arrive at the final estimates of the fair value of certain working capital and non-working capital acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including, but not limited to, the allocations to goodwill and intangible assets, tangible fixed assets and contingent consideration obligations related to its acquisitions of Clarity and DC74. All information presented with respect to working capital and non-working capital acquired assets and assumed liabilities as it relates to these acquisitions is preliminary and subject to revision pending the completion of the fair value analyses. The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined using the income, cost, and market approaches. The cost and market approaches were used in combination to determine the fair value of the real and personal property and derivations of the income approach were predominantly used in valuing the intangible assets and contingent consideration obligations associated with the earnout provisions. The following table summarizes the Company's preliminary estimates of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from its Clarity and DC74 acquisitions: (In thousands) Clarity Communications, LLC January 4, 2017 DC74, LLC January 31, 2017 Assets acquired Cash $ 625 $ 493 Other Current Assets 1,318 380 Property, Plant and Equipment 2,819 1,684 Goodwill 6,723 18,616 Intangible assets subject to amortization Customer relationship intangible 4,300 8,400 Trademark intangible 200 200 Non-compete agreement intangible 20 10 Total intangible assets subject to amortization 4,520 8,610 Other Assets 34 47 Total assets acquired 16,039 29,830 Liabilities assumed Current liabilities 853 404 Long-term liabilities - 495 Total liabilities assumed 853 899 Net assets acquired 15,186 28,931 Less cash acquired (625) (493) Net consideration paid 14,561 28,438 Less contingent consideration obligations (4,600) (4,900) Net cash consideration paid at closing $ 9,961 $ 23,538 The preliminary goodwill resulting from these acquisitions in the amount of $6.7 million from Clarity and $18.6 million from DC74 are the result of the added network diversity, access to new markets and prospective data customers, operational synergies and the assembled workforce. Substantially all of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes in future periods. For segment reporting purposes, all of this goodwill was allocated to the Data operating segment. A roll-forward of the preliminary segmented goodwill from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017 is as follows: (In thousands) December 31, 2016 Acquisition Additions March 31, 2017 Data $ 90,561 $ 25,339 $ 115,900 R&SB 9,736 - 9,736 RLEC Access - - - Total goodwill $ 100,297 $ 25,339 $ 125,636 The amounts of Clarity revenue and net income included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the period January 4, 2017 through March 31, 2017 are $1.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The amounts of DC74 revenue and net income included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the period January 31, 2017 through March 31, 2017 are $1.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. The pro forma results of the combined operations of the Company and Clarity and DC74 are not materially different from the Company’s presented statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. In connection with the acquisitions of Clarity and DC74, the Company incurred certain professional fees (i.e., legal, accounting, regulatory, etc.), which have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and in cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company incurred transaction costs of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 in connection with the Clarity and DC74 acquisitions, respectively. |

Disclosures About Segments Of An Enterprise And Related Information | Note 6. Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information The Company’s operating segments generally align with its major product and service offerings and coincide with the way that the Company’s chief operating decision makers measure performance and allocate resources. The Company’s chief operating decision makers are its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the “CODMs”). The Company’s current reportable operating segments are data, residential and small business (“R&SB”) and RLEC access. A general description of the products and services offered and the customers served by each of these segments is as follows: · Data: This segment includes the Company’s enterprise data (metro Ethernet, dedicated Internet, voice over IP (“VoIP”), data center and private line), transport, and FTTC product and service groups. These businesses primarily serve enterprise and carrier customers utilizing the Company’s network of long-haul fiber, metro Ethernet and Ethernet rings located primarily in Virginia and West Virginia, and portions of other states in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. · R&SB: This segment includes the following voice products: local lines, primary rate interface (“PRI”), long distance, toll and directory advertising and other voice services (excluding VoIP which are typically provided to enterprise customers and are included in the Company’s data segment) and the following IP services products: fiber-to-the-premise broadband XL, DSL, integrated access and video. These products are sold to residential and small business customers on the Company’s network and within the Company’s footprint. This segment also provides carrier customers access to the Company’s network located in competitive markets. · RLEC Access: This segment provides carrier customers access to the Company’s network within the Company’s RLEC footprint and primarily includes switched access services. Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is presented in the following table: (In thousands) Data R&SB RLEC Access Corporate (Unallocated) Total For the three months ended March 31, 2017: Operating revenues $ 34,587 $ 15,205 $ 5,124 $ - $ 54,916 Cost of revenue 5,449 4,970 - - 10,419 Gross profit 29,138 10,235 5,124 - N/A Direct operating and selling costs 2,170 1,107 154 - 3,431 Indirect operating costs 8,022 2,396 52 - 10,470 Corporate general and administrative costs 4,639 1,611 455 10,062 16,767 Adjusted EBITDA (1) 14,307 5,121 4,463 - N/A Capital expenditures 10,909 2,247 - (59) 13,097 (In thousands) Data R&SB RLEC Access Corporate (Unallocated) Total For the three months ended March 31, 2016: Operating revenues $ 29,629 $ 15,828 $ 5,337 $ - $ 50,794 Cost of revenue 4,568 5,644 - - 10,212 Gross profit 25,061 10,184 5,337 - N/A Direct operating and selling costs 1,671 1,042 145 - 2,858 Indirect operating costs 6,169 2,373 55 - 8,597 Corporate general and administrative costs 3,907 1,620 485 5,868 11,880 Adjusted EBITDA (1) 13,314 5,149 4,652 - N/A Capital expenditures 21,390 2,222 - (1,606) 22,006 (1) Adjusted EBITDA is used by the Company’s CODMs to evaluate performance. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company, is net income or loss attributable to Lumos Networks Corp. before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, accretion of asset retirement obligations, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, other income or expenses, equity-based compensation charges, amortization of actuarial losses on retirement plans, restructuring charges, acquisition and merger related charges and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations . N/A – Not Applicable (as totals are not presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations) The Company’s CODMs do not currently review total assets by segment since the assets are centrally managed and some of the assets are shared by the segments. However, total assets may be allocated to the segments in the future should the CODMs decide to manage the business in that manner. Management does review capital expenditures using success-based metrics that allow the Company to determine which segment product groups are driving investment in the network. Depreciation and amortization expense and certain corporate expenses that are excluded from the measurement of segment profit or loss are not allocated to the operating segments. The following table provides a reconciliation of the total of the Company’s reportable segments measure of profit to the Company’s consolidated loss before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 : Three Months Ended March 31, (In thousands) 2017 2016 Data Adjusted EBITDA $ 14,307 $ 13,314 R&SB Adjusted EBITDA 5,121 5,149 RLEC Access Adjusted EBITDA 4,463 4,652 Total reportable segments measure of profit 23,891 23,115 Interest expense (7,393) (6,989) Other income, net 623 174 Depreciation and amortization and accretion of asset retirement obligations (15,017) (11,925) Amortization of actuarial losses (326) (338) Equity-based compensation (6,794) (5,530) Restructuring charges - (2,207) Changes in fair value of contingent consideration obligations (400) - Acquisition and merger related charges (2,942) - Loss before income taxes $ (8,358) $ (3,700) The Company does not currently have any single customer that individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016. The Company’s five largest carrier customers, in the aggregate, accounted for 31% and 32% of the Company’s total operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively . Revenues from these carrier customers were derived primarily from network access, data transport and FTTC services. |

Long-Term Debt [Abstract] | |
Long-Term Debt | Note 7. Long-Term Debt As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Company’s outstanding long-term debt consisted of the following: March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 (In thousands) Principal Unamortized Discount and Debt Issuance Costs Principal Unamortized Discount and Debt Issuance Costs Credit Facility $ 337,128 $ 2,939 $ 340,385 $ 3,283 8% Notes 150,000 25,698 150,000 26,529 Capital lease obligations 7,717 - 7,842 - Long-term debt 494,845 28,637 498,227 29,812 Less: Current portion of long-term debt 13,525 - 13,530 - Long-term debt, excluding current portion $ 481,320 $ 28,637 $ 484,697 $ 29,812 Credit Facility On April 30, 2013, Lumos Networks Operating Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a $425 million credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility consists of a $100 million senior secured five -year term loan (“Term Loan A”), a $275 million senior secured six -year term loan (“Term Loan B”); a $28 million senior secured incremental term loan, which was added through an amendment to the Credit Facility dated January 2, 2015, (“Term Loan C”); and a $50 million senior secured five -year revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”). The proceeds from Term Loan A and Term Loan B were used to retire the prior first lien credit facility outstanding amount of approximately $ 311 million and to pay closing costs and other expenses related to the transaction, with the remaining proceeds available for normal course capital expenditures and working capital purposes. The Company used the net proceeds from Term Loan C to fund new FTTC projects. As of March 31, 2017 , no borrowings were outstanding under the Revolver. On August 6, 2015, the Company prepaid $40.0 million of the outstanding principal of the Credit Facility, which was allocated ratably to Term Loans A, B and C. The Company used proceeds from the issuance of the 8% Notes, discussed below, to fund these prepayments. Pricing of the amended Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 3.00% for the Revolver and Term Loan A and LIBOR plus 3.25% for Term Loan B and C . The Credit Facility does not require a minimum LIBOR rate. Term Loan A matures in 2018 with quarterly payments of 2.50% per annum. Term Loan B matures in 2019 with quarterly payments of 1% per annum. Term Loan C matures in 2019 with quarterly payments of 1% per annum. The Revolver matures in full in 2018. The Credit Facility is secured by a first priority pledge of substantially all property and assets of Lumos Networks Operating Company and all material subsidiaries, as guarantors, excluding the RLECs. The amended Credit Facility includes various restrictions and conditions, including a maximum leverage ratio of 4.50 :1.00 through December 31, 2017, 4.25 :1.00 through December 31, 2018, and 4.00 :1.00 thereafter. The amended Credit Facility also sets a minimum interest rate coverage ratio of 3.25 :1.00. At March 31, 2017 , the Company’s leverage ratio was 3.60 :1.00 and its interest coverage ratio was 7. 31 :1.00. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of March 31, 2017 . The Company’s effective interest rate on its Credit Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was 4.19 %. 8% Notes due 2022 On August 6, 2015, the Company issued $150 million in unsecured promissory notes (the “8% Notes”) to an affiliate of Pamplona Capital Management LLC (“Pamplona”). The net proceeds of the 8% Notes, after a $1.5 million purchasers discount and payment of $ 7.1 million of closing costs, were used to prepay $40.0 million of the Company’s existing Credit Facility with the remainder to be used for general corporate purposes, including to fund future growth opportunities. The 8% Notes bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 8.00% and mature on August 15, 2022. Interest is payable in arrears on a quarterly basis on August 15, November 15, February 15, and May 15 of each year. Interest is payable in cash or, at the election of the Company, through the issuance of additional notes or by adding the amount of the accrued interest to the unpaid principal amount of the 8% Notes outstanding at that time. The 8% Notes were also issued with 5,500,000 warrants for no additional consideration to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”). The Company allocated the net proceeds received from the debt issuance to the 8% Notes and the equity-classified Warrants based on the relative fair value of the instruments. As a result, the Company recognized a total discount on the 8% Notes of $24.8 million of which $23.5 million represents the value assigned to the Warrants, and $1.3 million represents the allocated portion of the aforementioned $1.5 million purchasers discount. The discount on the 8% Notes is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. See Note 12 for additional details regarding the Warrants. In connection with the issuance of the 8% Notes in August 2015 and the Term Loan C financing in January 2015, the Company deferred an additional $ 6.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in debt issuance costs. Total unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the 8% Notes and Credit Facility are included in the table above, which amounts are included as a reduction of long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs . These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. Amortization of debt issuance costs was $ 1.2 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company’s effective interest rate on the 8% Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was 12.55%, which represents the contractual rate adjusted for the aforementioned discount and deferred debt issuance costs. CoBank Patronage Credits The Company receives patronage credits from CoBank and certain other of the Farm Credit System lending institutions (collectively referred to as “patronage banks”) which are not reflected in the interest rates above. The patronage banks hold a portion of the credit facility and are cooperative banks that are required to distribute their profits to their members. Patronage credits are calculated based on the patronage banks’ ownership percentage of the credit facility and are received by the Company as either a cash distribution or as equity in the patronage banks. These credits are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as an offset to interest expense. The Patronage credits were $ 0. 2 million a nd $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The aggregate maturities of Term Loan A, Term Loan B and Term Loan C under the Credit Facility are $ 9.7 million in the remainder of 2017, $ 70.9 million in 2018, $ 256.5 million in 2019 and less than $ 0.1 million in 2020. The Revolver under the Credit Facility, under which no borrowings are outstanding as of March 31, 2017 , matures in full in 2018. The 8% Notes mature for $150.0 million in 2022. Capital lease obligations In addition to the long-term debt discussed above, the Company has capital leases on vehicles with original lease terms of four to five years. The Company also has a fiber indefeasible right of use (“IRU”) classified as a capital lease, which was entered into in January 2016. The IRU network capacity arrangement extends through 2035 with payments due monthly. As of March 31, 2017 , the combined total net present value of the Company’s future minimum lease payments is $ 7.7 million and the principal portion of these capital lease obligations is due as follows: $ 0.3 million in the remainder of 2017, $ 0.5 million in 2018, $ 0.5 million in 2019, $ 0.4 million in 2020, $0.4 million in 2021 and $ 5.6 million thereafter. The historical cost and accumulated amortization for each of the related assets associated with the capital leases is as follows as of March 31, 2017 : March 31, 2017 (In thousands) Historical Cost Accumulated Amortization Vehicles $ 2,657 $ (1,784) Network capacity IRU 8,871 (555) Total $ 11,528 $ (2,339) |

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Of Financial Instruments | Note 9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, capital lease obligations (including the current portion), accrued liabilities, contingent consideration obligations, the Credit Facility (including the current portion) and the 8% Notes as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, capital lease obligations and accrued liabilities approximated their fair values at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . Marketable securities are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value (see Note 5). The following tables present the placement in the fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 : Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2017 (In thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Fair Value Financial Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market mutual funds $ 37 $ - $ - $ 37 Commercial paper - 4,349 - 4,349 Corporate debt securities - 1,082 - 1,082 Total cash equivalents 37 5,431 - 5,468 Marketable securities: Commercial paper - 2,885 - 2,885 Corporate debt securities - 6,974 - 6,974 Variable rate demand notes - 5,000 - 5,000 Total marketable securities - 14,859 - 14,859 Total financial assets $ 37 $ 20,290 $ - $ 20,327 Financial Liabilities: Contingent consideration obligations $ - $ - $ 9,900 $ 9,900 Total financial liabilities $ - $ - $ 9,900 $ 9,900 Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2016 (In thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Fair Value Financial Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market mutual funds $ 6,742 $ - $ - $ 6,742 Corporate debt securities - 413 - 413 Total cash equivalents 6,742 413 - 7,155 Marketable securities: Commercial paper - 7,370 - 7,370 Debt securities issued by U.S. Government agencies - - - - Corporate debt securities - 16,716 - 16,716 Variable rate demand notes - 13,995 - 13,995 Total marketable securities - 38,081 - 38,081 Total financial assets $ 6,742 $ 38,494 $ - $ 45,236 The fair value of commercial paper, variable rate demand notes and corporate, municipal and U.S. government debt securities are provided by a third-party pricing service and are estimated using pricing models. The underlying inputs to the pricing models are directly observable from active markets. However, the pricing models used do entail a certain amount of subjectivity and therefore differing judgments in how the underlying inputs are modeled could result in different estimates of fair value. As such, the Company classifies these fair value measurements as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Additionally, through the business acquisitions of Clarity and DC74, the Company recognized contingent consideration obligations associated with the earnout provisions contained in the agreements. The fair value of the contingent consideration obligations was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that schedules out probability-weighted cash flows and adjusts for other factors such as estimated changes in market conditions and credit risk. The fair values of the contingent consideration obligations as of March 31, 2017 for Clarity and DC74 were $4.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively. The fair value technique applied utilizes certain Level 3 inputs. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the components included in the Company’s long-term debt, including the current portion. March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 (In thousands) Carrying Value Fair Value (Level 2) Carrying Value Fair Value (Level 2) Credit Facility $ 334,189 $ 289,964 $ 337,102 $ 304,571 8% Notes 124,302 134,482 123,471 133,965 Capital Lease Obligations 7,717 7,717 7,842 7,842 The respective fair values of the Credit Facility and the 8% Notes were estimated based on an internal discounted cash flows analysis that schedules out the estimated cash flows for the future debt and interest repayments and applies a discount factor that is adjusted to reflect estimated changes in market conditions and credit factors. The Company also has certain non-marketable long-term investments for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value with a total carrying value of $1. 5 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , of which $1.4 million represents the Company’s investment in CoBank for each of the respective periods. This investment is primarily related to patronage distributions of restricted equity and is a required investment related to the portion of the Credit Facility held by CoBank. This investment is carried under the cost method. |

Earnings (Loss) Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | Note 11. Earnings (Loss) per Share The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Lumos Networks Corp. applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The impact on earnings (loss) per share of nonvested restricted shares outstanding that contain a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends on a one-to-one per share ratio to common shares is included in the computation of basic earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company issues restricted shares from time to time with vesting terms that are based on achievement of certain stock price performance conditions. These nonvested restricted shares are excluded from the computation of basic and diluted weighted average shares until the period in which the applicable performance or market conditions are attained. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the number of potentially dilutive common shares from stock options and nonvested restricted shares during the period. The computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are detailed in the following table. Three Months Ended March 31, (In thousands, except per share amounts) 2017 2016 Numerator: Net loss attributable to Lumos Networks Corp. $ (5,317) $ (2,894) Less: net income attributable to Lumos Networks Corp. allocable to participating securities - - Numerator for basic and diluted loss per common share (5,317) (2,894) Denominator: Weighted average basic shares outstanding 23,463 22,850 Less: weighted average participating securities and nonvested performance-based restricted shares (846) (795) Denominator for basic loss per common share 22,617 22,055 Plus: potentially dilutive restricted shares and stock options - - Denominator for diluted loss per common share 22,617 22,055 Basic and diluted loss per share $ (0.24) $ (0.13) For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , the denominator for diluted loss per common share is equivalent to the denominator for basic loss per common share because the addition of stock options and unvested restricted stock would be antidilutive for the period. As of March 31, 2017 the denominator for diluted loss per common share excluded 733,412 and 503,012 shares related to stock options and nonvested restricted stock, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 , the denominator for diluted loss per common share excluded 871,370 and 356,217 shares related to stock options and nonvested restricted stock, respectively. T he earnings (loss) per share calculations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 also exclude the 5,500,000 outstanding stock warrants described in Note 12 as they would be antidilutive for each period. |

Stock Options, Restricted Stock and Stock Warrants | Note 12. Stock Options, Restricted Stock and Stock Warrants Stock Options and Restricted Stock The Company has an Equity and Cash Incentive Plan administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s board of directors, which permits the grant of long-term incentives to employees and non-employee directors, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, incentive awards, other stock-based awards and dividend equivalents. As of March 31, 2017 , the maximum number of shares of common stock available for awards under the Equity and Cash Incentive Plan was 5,500,000 and 509,545 securities remained available for issuance under the plan. Upon the exercise of stock options or upon the grant of restricted stock under the Equity and Cash Incentive Plan, new common shares are issued or treasury stock is reissued. The Company issued no stock options and 89,067 shares of restricted stock under the Equity and Cash Incentive Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2017 . Restricted shares generally cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date for employees and generally cliff vest on the first anniversary of the grant date for non-employee directors. Some of the outstanding restricted stock awards vest on a graded vesting schedule over a five year period. A summary of the activity for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is as follows: (In thousands, except per share amounts) Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price per Share Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value Stock options outstanding at December 31, 2016 1,749 $ 12.35 Granted during the period - - Exercised during the period (76) 13.25 Forfeited during the period - - Expired during the period (5) 11.40 Stock options outstanding at March 31, 2017 1,668 $ 12.31 5.2 years $ 9,191 Stock options exercisable at March 31, 2017 1,291 $ 12.12 4.9 years $ 7,400 Total stock options outstanding, vested and expected to vest at March 31, 2017 1,668 $ 12.31 $ 9,191 The total fair value of options that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $ 0. 2 million. As of March 31, 2017 , there was $ 0.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years. A summary of the activity and status of the Company’s restricted stock for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , is as follows: (In thousands, except per share amounts) Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share Restricted stock outstanding at December 31, 2016 849 $ 13.85 Granted during the period 89 16.43 Vested during the period (117) 12.94 Forfeited during the period - - Restricted stock outstanding at March 31, 2017 821 $ 14.26 As of March 31, 2017 , there was $ 5.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. Immediately prior to the effective time of the EQT Merger, the Company’s outstanding stock options (whether or not vested and exercisable) will automatically vest and be cancelled and entitle the option holder to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares subject to the option and (ii) the amount, if any, of excess of $18.00 and the applicable exercise price per share underlying the option (less any applicable withholding taxes). Additionally, immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Company’s outstanding restricted stock will automatically vest and the restrictions thereon will lapse and entitle the holder of such share of Company restricted stock to receive $18.00 in cash (less any applicable withholding taxes). Stock Warrants A summary of the activity and status of the Company’s stock warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , is as follows: (In thousands, except per share amounts) Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share Stock warrants outstanding at December 31, 2016 5,500 $ 13.99 Granted during the period - - Exercised during the period - - Expired during the period - - Stock warrants outstanding at March 31, 2017 5,500 $ 13.99 Outstanding warrants consist of those issued on August 6, 2015 in conjunction with the 8% Notes issuance discussed in Note 7 (the “Warrants”). The Warrants are fully vested and exercisable and may be net-share settled on a cashless basis only until they expire on August 6, 2022. A portion of the net proceeds from the 8% Notes issuance was allocated to the equity-classified Warrants based on the relative fair value of the instruments. Lumos Investment Holdings, Ltd., an affiliate of Pamplona Capital Management, the holder of the Warrants has agreed, subject to the effectiveness of the EQT Merger, to exercise the Warrant. Upon exercise, Pamplona will receiv e 1,225,278 shares of common stock that will be exchanged for $18.00 in cash in the EQT Merger. |

Income Taxes | Note 13. Income Taxes Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $3.1 million and $0. 9 million, respectively, which represents the federal statutory tax rate applied to pre-tax loss and the effects of state income taxes and certain non-deductible charges for each period. The Company’s recurring non-deductible expenses relate primarily to certain non-cash equity-based compensation and non-deductible interest on the 8% Notes, which are treated as applicable high yield discount obligations (“AHYDO”) within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. The Company also incurred certain transaction costs during the three months ended March 31, 2017 that would be considered capitalized costs for income tax purposes, primarily associated with the Merger. While management believes the Company has adequately provided for all significant tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater than its accrued position. Accordingly, additional provisions could be recorded in the future as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved. In general, tax years 2013 and thereafter remain open and subject to federal and state audit examinations. |

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract] | |
Commitments And Contingencies | Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies Customer Disputes and Routine Matters The Company periodically makes claims or receives disputes and is involved in legal actions related to billings to other carriers for access to the Company’s network. The Company does not recognize revenue related to such matters until collection of the claims is reasonably assured. In addition to this, the Company periodically disputes access charges that are assessed by other companies with which the Company interconnects and is involved in other disputes and legal and tax proceedings and filings arising from normal business activities. The Company is involved in routine litigation and disputes in the ordinary course of its business. While the results of litigation and disputes are inherently unpredictable, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and believes that adequate provision for any probable and estimable losses has been made in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has purchase commitments relating to capital projects totaling $ 1.1 million as of March 31, 2017 , which are expected to be satisfied during the remainder of 2017. Litigation Related to the EQT Merger On April 4, 2017 and April 11, 2017, two putative class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against the Company’s directors, EQT Partners Inc., Parent and Merger Sub. The plaintiffs in the actions allege that the Company’s disclosures in its preliminary proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC on March 31, 2017 contained false and misleading statements and omitted material information and further that the individual defendants are liable for those alleged misstatements and omissions. The actions seek, among other things, to enjoin the Merger or, if the Merger has been consummated, to rescind the Merger or an award of damages, and an award of attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of litigation matters with certainty, the Company believes that the claims raised in the actions are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles Of Consolidation And Basis Of Presentation | Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Lumos Networks Operating Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and all of Lumos Networks Operating Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and those limited liability corporations where Lumos Networks Operating Company or certain of its subsidiaries, as managing member, exercise control. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly in all material respects the Company’s financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented on the respective condensed consolidated financial statements included herein. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . |
Accounting Estimates | Accounting Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of fixed assets, the allowance for doubtful accounts and customer credits, deferred tax assets, asset retirement obligations, stock warrants and equity-based compensation, goodwill impairment assessments, contingent consideration obligations, reserves for employee benefit obligations and income tax uncertainties. |
Changes in Accounting Principle | Changes in Accounting Principle In January 2017, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”), which is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after September 1, 2016. ASU 2015-02 provides a revised consolidation model for all reporting entities to use in evaluating whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities will be subject to reevaluation under this revised consolidation model. The revised consolidation model, among other things, (i) modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs, or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, and (iii) modifies the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs through fee arrangements and related party relationships. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were not impacted by the adoption of ASU 2015-02. Additionally, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (“ASU 2016-09”) in January 2017, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions and is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Among other things, ASU 2016-09 provides for (i) the simplification of accounting presentation of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies, (ii) an accounting policy election regarding forfeitures to use an estimate or account for when incurred, and (iii) simplification of cash flow presentation for statutory tax rate withholding. The adoption of ASU 2016-09, which resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits through the condensed consolidated statement of operations and an accounting policy election made by the Company to eliminate the use of a forfeiture estimate and recognize forfeitures as they occur, resulted in the recognition of a c umulative effect adjustment with a $1.6 million impact to accumulated deficit and a $1.9 million total impact to stockholders’ equity and deferred income taxes. There was no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, the condensed consolidated statement of operations, or net loss or earnings (loss) per share. The adoption of the accounting policy election to record forfeitures as incurred and the recognition of excess tax benefits in the condensed consolidated statement of operations may increase the volatility of net income (loss). |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services are rendered or products are delivered, installed and functional, as applicable, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Certain services of the Company require payment in advance of service performance. In such cases, the Company records a service liability at the time of billing and subsequently recognizes revenue ratably over the service period. The Company bills customers certain transactional taxes on service revenues. These transactional taxes are not included in reported revenues as they are recognized as liabilities at the time customers are billed. The Company earns revenue by providing services through access to and usage of its networks. Local service revenues are recognized as services are provided. Carrier data revenues are earned by providing switched access and other switched and dedicated services to other carriers. |
Cash Equivalents And Marketable Securities | Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities The Company considers its investment in all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company’s marketable securities at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consist of debt securities not classified as cash equivalents. The Company classifies such debt securities as either held-to-maturity, when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity, or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity debt securities are carried at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income or loss, net of tax. All of the Company’s debt securities not classified as cash equivalents were classified as available-for-sale securities as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . |
Trade Accounts Receivable | Trade Accounts Receivable The Company sells its services to other communication carriers and to business and residential customers primarily in Virginia and West Virginia and portions of other states in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The Company has credit and collection policies to maximize collection of trade receivables and requires advance payment for certain services. The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of specific customers with large receivable balances and for the remaining customer receivables the Company uses historical results, current and expected trends and changes in credit policies. Management believes the allowance adequately covers all anticipated losses with respect to trade receivables. Actual credit losses could differ from such estimates. The Company includes bad debt expense in selling, general and administrative in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Bad debt expense for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $0. 1 million . The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and customer credits was $0.9 million as of both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . The following table presents a roll-forward of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and customer credits from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017 : Additions (In thousands) December 31, 2016 Charged to Expense Charged to Other Accounts Deductions March 31, 2017 Allowance for doubtful accounts and customer credits $ 942 $ 107 $ 72 $ (193) $ 928 |
Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets (Excluding Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets) | Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets (Excluding Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets) Property, plant and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets and long-term deferred charges are recorded at cost and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount should be evaluated pursuant to the subsequent measurement guidance described in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-35. Impairment is determined by comparing the carrying value of these long-lived assets to management’s best estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the excess of the asset’s carrying value over the estimated fair value is recorded as an impairment charge. The Company believes that no impairment indicators exist as of March 31, 2017 that would require the Company to perform impairment testing for long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, long-term deferred charges and finite-lived intangible assets to be held and used. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which the Company reviews and updates based on historical experiences and future expectations. Plant and equipment held under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Amortization of assets held under capital leases, including an indefeasible right of use agreement, is included with depreciation expense. Intangibles with a finite life are classified as other intangibles on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , other intangibles were comprised of the following: March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 (Dollars in thousands) Estimated Life Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Customer relationships 6 to 15 yrs $ 115,808 $ (96,488) $ 103,108 $ (95,463) Trademarks and franchise rights 4 to 15 yrs 3,262 (2,069) 2,862 (2,004) Non-compete Agreements 2 to 3 yrs 30 (3) - - Total $ 119,100 $ (98,560) $ 105,970 $ (97,467) Included in the above amounts are indefinite-lived intangible assets of $0.3 million, which are not subject to amortization. The Company amortizes its finite-lived intangible assets using the straight-line method unless it determines that another systematic method is more appropriate. The Company generally amortizes certain customer relationship intangibles and some acquired trademarks using an accelerated amortization method based on the pattern of estimated earnings from these assets. The estimated life of amortizable intangible assets is determined from the unique factors specific to each asset, and the Company periodically reviews and updates estimated lives based on current events and future expectations. The Company capitalizes costs incurred to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible asset and amortizes such costs over the remaining life of the asset. No such costs were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 . Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $ 1.1 million and $ 0. 6 million, respectively. Amortization expense for the remainder of 2017 and for the next five years is expected to be as follows: (In thousands) Customer Relationships Trademarks and Franchise Rights Non-compete Agreements Total Remainder of 2017 $ 3,460 $ 205 $ 9 $ 3,674 2018 3,727 270 12 4,009 2019 3,443 247 6 3,696 2020 2,922 115 - 3,037 2021 2,531 25 - 2,556 2022 1,195 - - 1,195 |
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Goodwill and certain trademarks are considered to be indefinite-lived intangible assets. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization but are instead tested for impairment annually or more frequently if an event indicates that the asset might be impaired. The Company’s policy is to assess the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets annually on October 1 and whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company believes there have been no events or circumstances to cause it to evaluate the carrying amount of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2017 . |
Pension Benefits and Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions | Pension Benefits and Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions The Company sponsors a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) covering all employees who meet eligibility requirements and were employed prior to October 1, 2003. The Company froze the Pension Plan effective December 31, 2012. As such, no further benefits are being accrued by participants for services rendered beyond that date. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , the components of the Company’s net periodic benefit (income) cost for the Pension Plan were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, (In thousands) 2017 2016 Service cost $ - $ - Interest cost 648 674 Expected return on plan assets (912) (884) Amortization of loss 236 262 Net periodic benefit (income) cost $ (28) $ 52 Pension Plan assets were valued at $56.4 million and $55.6 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. No funding contributions were made during the three months ended March 31, 2017 , and the Company does not expect to make a funding contribution during the remainder of 2017. The Company also provides life insurance benefits for retired employees who meet eligibility requirements through two postretirement welfare benefit plans (the “Other Postretirement Benefit Plans”). The Company had provided retiree medical benefits under these plans until those benefits were terminated effective December 31, 201 4. The Company did not incur any significant costs associated with these plans during the three months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016. The Company recognized expense for certain nonqualified pension plans for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 of $0.1 million , and less than $0.1 million of this expense for each of these periods relates to the amortization of actuarial loss. The gross amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss related to amortization of actuarial losses for retirement plans for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $ 0 .3 million, all of which has been reclassified to selling, general and administrative on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Income taxes associated with these reclassifications were $0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. |
Equity-based Compensation | Equity-based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based employee compensation plans under FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation . Equity-based compensation expense from share-based equity awards is recorded with an offsetting increase to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For equity awards with only service conditions, the Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Total equity-based compensation expense related to all of the share-based awards, annual employee bonuses paid in the form of immediately vested shares and the Company’s 401(k) matching contributions was $ 6.8 million and $ 5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, which amounts are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Future charges for equity-based compensation related to instruments outstanding at March 31, 2017 are estimated to be $3.4 million for the remainder of 2017, $ 2.1 million in 2018, $ 0.7 million in 2019 and less than $ 0.1 million in 2020 and thereafter. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value or for certain financial instruments for which disclosure of fair value is required, the Company uses fair value techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Those judgments are developed by the Company based on the best information available in the circumstances, including expected cash flows and appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates, available observable and unobservable inputs. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy with three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: · Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. · Level 2 – Unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for public business entities from annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”), which clarifies implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”), which clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance contained in ASU 2014-09. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”), which addresses narrow-scope improvements to the guidance on collectability, noncash consideration, and completed contracts at transition. Additionally, the amendments in ASU 2016-12 provide a practical expedient for contract modifications at transition and an accounting policy election related to the presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers. Finally, in December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with customers, which makes minor corrections or improvements to ASU 2014-09. In 2016, the Company identified a project team and commenced an initial impact assessment process for ASU 2014-09. To date, the Company has reviewed a sample of contracts with its customers and made preliminary assessments of the impact on revenue and expenses based on these reviews; however, the assessment of the impact to the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows as a result of this guidance is ongoing. Additionally, ASU 2014-09 requires increased disclosure, which in turn may require changes to processes and systems. The Company expects to complete its impact assessment in the second quarter of 2017, at which time it will develop an implementation plan to include any potential process or system changes. The Company will adopt this new standard as of January 1, 2018 and currently expects to apply the modified retrospective method, which may result in a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Both the Company’s initial assessment and its selected transition method may change depending on the results of the Company’s final assessment of the impact to its financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). The standard addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not expect the future adoption of ASU 2016-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which will replace most existing lease guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on the consolidated balance sheets of the lessee. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2016-02 requires the use of a modified retrospective transition method with elective reliefs. The Company is still evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) (“ASU 2016-15”), which addresses eight classification issues related to the statement of cash flows presentation, with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. The amendments in this ASU provide guidance on the following cash flow issues: 1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; 2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments; 3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; 4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; 5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; 6) distributions received from equity method investees; 7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and 8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Although the Company is still evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-15 will have on its statement of cash flow and disclosures, the Company expects the standard will primarily impact the presentation of the earnouts associated with the business acquisitions completed in January 2017. Their presentation in accordance with ASU 2016-15 would depend on whether they were deemed to be paid soon after the acquisition. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under 2017-04, goodwill will be measured using the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for public business entities for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2019, with early adoption permitted for goodwill impairment tests with measurement dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the future adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |
