Today Altice/Optimum announced that as part of its continued efforts to keep communities connected and make broadband more accessible, the company has launched the FCC’s Emergency Broadband Benefit Program (EBBP), which will provide eligible Optimum residential customers with a credit towards their internet service payments.
Optimum residential customers who meet the eligibility criteria based on the FCC’s rules will receive a monthly credit of up to $50 (or up to $75 for customers on Tribal lands) towards their internet service and associated internet equipment rental charges. The offer is available to both new and existing residential customers and will continue until six months after the date the federal government declares the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency or until funds from the FCC’s Emergency Broadband Benefit Program have been depleted. For more on the program, visit https://www.fcc.gov/broadbandbenefit.
Attached is the Company Press Release and EBBP program flyer. Optimum customers can go direct to our program webpage as well; https://www.optimum.com/emergency-broadband
