Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Affordable Connectivity Program credits can be used simultaneously with Lifeline credits on your Kinetic by Windstream account. However, both credits cannot be used for the same thing (i.e. internet or phone). Since this credit is for internet service only, we recommend you use your Lifeline credit for phone, so that you can use this Affordable Connectivity Program credit for your internet service.

The FCC's Affordable Connectivity Program formerly called the Emergency Broadband Benefit program is a government program that reduces an eligible household's broadband internet service bill. Discounts are provided through bill credits, limited to one per household and the amount varies based on customer location and qualifying service. An application ID from the National Verifier must be provided to Kinetic by Windstream to receive a discount. Kinetic by Windstream is not responsible for program qualification decisions and cannot make any guarantees of eligibility, qualification for a certain credit amount or length of time the credit will be available to be applied to your monthly bill. Kinetic by Windstream will honor Affordable Connectivity Program credits until such credit. Affordable Connectivity Program credits may be used with a provider of your choosing, such as for Kinetic Internet, and may be moved to another provider at any time. Once credits are no longer available, you will be subject to Kinetic by Windstream's then-current rates and terms and conditions.
