Affordable Access Through Equity Connect
The Equity Connect Program helps make internet service more affordable for eligible low-income households by providing a $30 monthly discount.
We’re committed to helping our communities stay connected with reliable, affordable service options designed to meet real needs. Eligible households may also qualify for savings through Lifeline, an FCC program that helps reduce the cost of phone and broadband services for low-income consumers. Lifeline discounts are available to qualifying customers in select service areas.
