Public Sector: September 2023

 

 

Welcome to the 5th Edition of Brightspeed Business Connect.

 

Brightspeed is just a few weeks away from completing our first year as a new company. These are exciting times for our team as we reach that milestone and we’ll be sharing more on our anniversary details soon. We’ve faced plenty of challenges and gone through some tremendous growth since those first days of operation. The team has had great interactions with our customers and learned plenty about how we can best support your needs going forward.

As a company, we remain committed to being local and present within your communities to better deliver the services your business requires. We work every day to earn your trust and to handle the most important connections that allow your business to succeed.

 

Thank you for your ongoing trust and partnership.

 

Paul Curlee, Director of Public Sector

 

 

Leverage E-Rate funding to improve your school’s internet.

 

Schools and libraries can leverage E-Rate funding for high-speed broadband and take their learning to new heights. Fiber backed connectivity supports immersive digital activities and enables a dynamic learning curriculum that updates in real time for students. Brightspeed Business is positioned locally throughout the states we serve to deliver and support the high-speed connectivity solutions required to help elevate your schools and libraries.

 

Solutions for K-12 Schools.

 

Universal broadband leads to better outcomes for our schools. Through the E-Rate program, public and private schools (K-12), libraries, and school districts can apply for discounts on data transmission services, broadband connectivity, and internet access. FCC Form 470 for the 2024 application process is now available. You can learn more on that process by visiting the USAC website.

 

 

Reliable Voice Communications.
Simple and uncomplicated.

 

Brightspeed remains committed to our foundational voice technologies that are providing customers with streamlined, reliable and high-quality phone services at competitive prices. These reliable communications operate even during power outages and other emergencies because the power is provided through the line. Phone lines are easily installed by Brightspeed, minimizing your business’ time and resources and delivering reliable connectivity for many essential phone line services eliminating the need for costly, multi-technology replacement solutions.

At a time when other voice providers are raising rates and forcing customers to make a change from legacy services, Brightspeed Business is allowing our customers to extend their current agreement for 24 or 36 months at the same rate. We continue to support your business with these services and allow you to migrate to new technology at your own pace.

 

Responsive customer service. Local, not limited.

 

Brightspeed is dedicated to providing a superior customer experience that makes staying connected simple and easy. Our growing network of technicians, product experts, and support staff living and working in your neighborhoods stand ready to respond quickly to keep your business up and running, and help you grow and expand.

We Love Local. Next stop, Pennsylvania.
