How it works

Who qualifies for this offer?

This offer is available to those who meet the following four qualifications:

  1. Has submitted a signed application.
  2. Lives at an eligible address.
  3. Not currently connected to Tidewater Telecom’s OPEN fiber network.
  4. Has a currently enrolled K-12/college student or teacher living in the house.
How much does service cost?

Tidewater Telecom is providing service free of charge for the first six months.  After the first six months, you will be billed at $69.95/month until the end of the contract. This offer requires a one-year service contract.  After this point, your internet service will be billed at our standard rates.

What happens after the one-year contract?

After your one-year contract is completed following your six months free service and six months billed at $69.95, you can either disconnect service or migrate to one of our standard-priced plans.

Why is this only available to students and teachers?

The federal funding that Tidewater Telecom is receiving this grant from is required to be used to connect eligible students and teachers.

What is included in this offer?

This offer covers three costs which would normally fall to the costumer.

  1. The cost of installation. This cost can vary wildly for Mainers, with some requiring thousands of dollars of fiber runs. The federal funding for this program covers those expensive costs of getting fiber to Maine students and teachers.
  2. The wireless router. This program covers the cost of a wireless router that you can use as long as you have OPEN Fiber internet.
  3. Six months of free internet and phone service, with an additional six months of our 100 MEG Symmetrical fiber billed at a reduced fee of $69.95/month.

The services included are: 100 MEG Symmetrical Fiber internet, phone service w/1000 minutes of long distance.
