CNSL - Consolidated Communications Is Making Internet More Accessible With Affordable Connectivity Program
Eligible households can get discounts on reliable, high-speed internet
Consolidated Communications (NASDAQ: CNSL) is helping expand broadband access through the federal Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).
The federal ACP is a Federal Communications Commission program that offers eligible households a credit up to $30 per month, and up to $75 for households on qualifying Tribal lands. This credit is used to help customers discount the cost of Consolidated’s internet services, including Fidium Fiber symmetrical gig-speed fiber internet.
“While Consolidated makes significant progress on our fiber expansion plan, we’re ensuring as many homes as possible are able to enjoy the economic, educational and employment benefits that come with reliable internet access by supporting the ACP,” said Erik Garr, president of consumer and small business for Consolidated Communications.
The ACP may be used in addition to the federal Lifeline discount. Customers can either combine the two programs to reduce costs further or use their Lifeline service discount on one program-eligible service and use the ACP discount on a different qualifying service.
