all things broadband in Washington County

(and beyond)

IN WASHINGTON COUNTY, AS FEW AS 20% OF ELIGIBLE HOUSEHOLDS HAVE ENROLLED IN THE AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVY PROGRAM

The Affordable Connectivity Program provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands. 

You can even find out if you qualify without going through the entire application process!

Does your household qualify?

ACP ENROLLMENTS TO DATE

In Maine, 238,710 households are eligible for the ACP, yet only 86,197 (36% of those eligible) have enrolled (as of July 10, 2023). This has increased from 26% just a few months ago.

Every single enrolled household that benefits from this program matters!

MOOSE NET - WHAT IT MEANS FOR RURAL MAINE (INCLUDING WASHINGTON COUNTY!)

The MOOSE Net middle mile project received $30 million in NTIA funding. MOOSE Net represents a significant investment in the backbone of Maine’s digital infrastructure and an asset that the state can leverage into the future.

NEW: INTERNET SAFETY TIPS!

No organization, bank, credit card company or government entity (like the IRS or Medicare) will ever ask for your social security number, password or bank information online or over the telephone. If you receive a phone call, a text, or an email that asks for your personal information, hang up or delete the message. Instead, directly call the business (such as your bank). Keep your personal information confidential!

If your community is considering its options, or ready to get started on broadband improvements, Sunrise County Economic Council is here to assist communities across Washington County. 

SCEC can assist - at no cost - with forming a committee, providing community surveys, locating grant funding, and more!
