Find Out if Your Family Qualifies for the Affordable Connectivity Program

FOCUS Broadband is participating in the Federal Communication Commission’s Affordable Connectivity Program to offer qualifying families a discount on their broadband service. The Affordable Connectivity Program is an FCC benefit program that helps ensure that households can afford the broadband they need for work, school, healthcare, and more. The benefit provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households.

Visit focusbroadband.com/acp to find out if you qualify or call our customer care department at 888-367-2862.

Limit one benefit per household per month. Once the program ends, households participating in ACP will be subject to the undiscounted rates, general terms and conditions.

New Overlay Area Code Coming Later This Year

Later this year, a new 472 area code will be coming to southeastern North Carolina and will serve the same geographic region as the 910 area code. This is called an area code overlay and is being implemented to ensure a continuing supply of new telephone numbers. Once the new area code becomes available, customers requesting new phone service or additional lines may be assigned a number that begins with the new 472 area code. Telephone customers with current service will not be required to change their existing area code, phone number, or the way calls are dialed. They will continue to dial using an area code and phone number for all local calls just as they do today within and between the 910 and new 472 area code.

More information about the new area code will be provided in the coming months.
