Lenora, Kan., April 8, 2024 — In response to the recent announcement from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding the conclusion of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) after April 2024, Nex-Tech is pleased to announce its commitment to ensuring a seamless transition for its valued customers.

ACP, established in 2021, currently offers eligible households a discount on their monthly Internet bill. The FCC has revealed that April 2024 will mark the final fully funded month of the ACP due to a lack of additional funding from Congress. As a result, households across the nation will no longer receive a monthly discount on their broadband service, starting from May 2024.

Understanding the potential impact on their customers, Nex-Tech is stepping up to cover the remaining credits for May. “Although the ACP benefit will contain a final partial credit in May,” stated Dustin Schlaefli, Director of Customer Engagement, “Nex-Tech is committed to providing the full $30 credit, ensuring our customers experience minimal disruption in their service and budget. ”Moreover, Nex-Tech wants to ensure that customers are aware of alternative affordable options. The federal Lifeline program offers discounts on broadband service to qualifying low-income households. To learn more, customers can visit www.LifelineSupport.org.

For additional inquiries regarding the end of the ACP, customers can reach out to the ACP Support Center at 877-384-2575. Furthermore, the FCC provides comprehensive information and updates regarding the ACP at www.fcc.gov/acp and https://affordableconnectivity.gov/.

Customers are encouraged to contact a member of Congress to help show support for the continued funding of the ACP program. Resources are available at https://www.dontdisconnectus.org/ for customers to find contact information for members of Congress.

Nex-Tech is committed to providing unparalleled service and support during this transition period, ensuring that our customers continue to enjoy reliable and affordable broadband services. They are hopeful that the FCC will extend support for the program. For future updates, follow Nex-Tech on Facebook or visit www.nex-tech.com
