ACP Disclosure

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a government program that reduces the household’s broadband internet access service bill. According to the FCC, a household is a group of people who live together and share income and expenses (even if they are not related to each other). For more information on what qualifies as a household, visit the ACP Benefit website. Households may obtain ACP-supported broadband service from any participating provider of its choosing and may apply the ACP benefit to any broadband service offering of the participating provider at the same terms available to households that are not eligible for ACP-supported service. The provider may disconnect the household’s ACP-supported service after 90 consecutive days of non-payment. The household will be subject to the provider’s undiscounted rates and general terms and conditions if the program ends, if the consumer transfers their benefit to another provider but continues to receive service from the current provider, or upon de-enrollment from the Affordable Connectivity Program. The household may file a complaint against its provider via the Commission’s Consumer Complaint Center by going to consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/ or calling 888-CALL-FCC (888-225-5322).

Check out http://www.affordableconnectivity.gov for a Consumer FAQ and other program resources.

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.

Each household can only receive one monthly ACP benefit at a time.

No, the ACP provides a monthly discount on internet service of UP TO $30 per eligible household. As the participating broadband service provider, Blue Stream Fiber will receive the funds directly.

No. Blue Stream Fiber is only reimbursed for the cost of the plan up to $30 per eligible household.

The ACP can be applied to the cost of a bundle of services that include internet, voice, texting and/or associated equipment. If your bundle also includes a TV service, you will be responsible for that portion of your bill, as well as any services that are above the monthly discount.

The maximum monthly benefit will change from $50 to $30 for households not located on qualifying Tribal lands.
Households have new ways to qualify for the ACP, such as receiving WIC benefits or having an income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.

If you are transitioning from EBB and have questions, please contact us.

Yes, a household may be eligible for both Lifeline and ACP. Households that are eligible for both are limited to one Lifeline discount per household and one ACP benefit per household. In addition, a household my receive its Lifeline benefit from one service provider and its ACP benefit from a different provider.
