Condensed Consolidating Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) Abstract  
Supplemental Guarantor Information High Yield [Text Block]
Supplemental Guarantor Information - 8 3/8% Senior Notes due 2020 and 7% Senior Notes due 2024
As of December 31, 2016, the Parent Company’s 7% Senior Notes due 2024 are guaranteed by the following subsidiaries: Cincinnati Bell Entertainment Inc., Cincinnati Bell Any Distance Inc., Cincinnati Bell Wireless LLC, CBTS Software LLC, Cincinnati Bell Technology Solutions Inc., Cincinnati Bell Any Distance of Virginia LLC, eVolve Business Solutions LLC, Data Center Investments Inc., and Data Centers South Inc.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company redeemed the remaining $84.6 million of outstanding 8 3/8% Senior Notes due 2020.
The Parent Company owns directly or indirectly 100% of each guarantor and each guarantee is full and unconditional, and joint and several. In certain customary circumstances, a subsidiary may be released from its guarantee obligation. These circumstances are defined as follows:
upon the sale of all of the capital stock of a subsidiary,
if the Company designates the subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary under the terms of the indentures, or
if the subsidiary is released as a guarantor from the Company's Corporate Credit Agreement.
In the third quarter of 2014, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Corporate Credit Agreement giving the Company the right to provide written notice to the administrative agent on or after the closing of the wireless sale of spectrum assets to remove any designated wireless subsidiary as a guarantor subsidiary.
In compliance with certain regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”), the Company’s wholly-owned regulated  subsidiary, Cincinnati Bell Telephone Company LLC, has historically accounted for certain of its non-regulated operations through its non-regulated subsidiary, Cincinnati Bell Telecommunications Services LLC, which is a guarantor of the Notes (as defined below). Through an agreement with the FCC, the Company is no longer obligated to segregate these non-regulated operations and has discontinued this accounting practice.  Effective December 31, 2016, the Company merged Cincinnati Bell Telecommunications Services LLC into another subsidiary, Cincinnati Bell Entertainment Inc., which is also a guarantor of the Notes. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect this change.

The Parent Company’s subsidiaries generate substantially all of its income and cash flow and generally distribute or advance the funds necessary to meet the Parent Company’s debt service obligations. The following information sets forth the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 of (1) the Parent Company, as the issuer, (2) the guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis, and (3) the non-guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis.
