Follow the steps above to apply for the ACP benefit. After applying, you will still need to contact Blue Stream Fiber to set up service and apply your discount.
If you choose to continue with your current level of Internet services once the Program ends or if you are no longer eligible, you will be responsible for payment at the full and current rates, terms and conditions.
Moving does not change your eligibility to receive ACP. However, you may need to re-enroll in ACP through Blue Stream Fiber at your new address. If you move into an area not serviceable by Blue Stream Fiber, you should check with your new Internet service provider to find out if they are also participating provider in ACP and how to enroll.
