- Fidium Fiber: “Do you have Fidium Fiber to your home? You should seriously consider doing it!!”
Can’t afford the monthly access, or is there some other reason? Fiber based Internet access is symmetrical, futureproof, and available with no installation cost, and for those qualified, you can afford the monthly access because it’s also free! Consider that if someone is on SNAP, Medicaid, or other benefit program – you can be qualified for the program. More than that (as an example) if you are a family of four making under $60,000 you can qualify for a $30/mo. discount at any service level but at the $30/mo. for 50/50Mbps, it’s free with the ACP discount. We want to keep the ACP program going and have you qualify – we can help. It really does matter, and we want you to use it, so we don’t lose those funds! Remember too that no Internet Service Provider (ISP) can prequalify you and it is your family not your address that gets qualified.”
Please act soon, the free installation won’t be available in a few years.
