Holton, Kansas – June 13, 2024 – JBN and Giant, leading providers of high-speed internet, phone, and TV services, previously announced the launch of its Extended Broadband Discount (EBD) program. This initiative is designed to bridge the gap for current Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) recipients after the FCC discontinued the program due to a lack of funding.
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)
The ACP was a federal government program that provided a discount on monthly broadband internet service for qualifying low-income households. It played a vital role in closing the digital divide by making internet access more affordable for millions of Americans. Unfortunately, the FCC has been forced to discontinue the program due to congressional funding limitations.
JBN Telephone Company and Giant Communications Step Up with EBD
Understanding the critical role internet access plays in today's world, JBN and Giant are committed to keeping our customers connected. The EBD program extends a similar discount to current ACP recipients who are JBN and Giant subscribers. This will help ensure uninterrupted internet service and continued access to online resources for education, work, healthcare, and more. All ACP recipients as of May 31, 2024, will receive the EBD service through January 31, 2025.
“At JBN and Giant, we are proud to be the community leader in broadband service, in the communities we serve,” says Austin Taylor, General Manager at JBN and Giant. “We believe internet access is essential in today’s society, and we are dedicated to finding ways to give back to the communities we serve.
