## Building connections across our network

Ziply Fiber partners with federal and state programs to help qualifying households, schools, libraries and healthcare providers get connected to reliable internet at a reduced cost.

### Fiber internet made accessible

If you qualify for the federal Lifeline program, Ziply Fiber makes it easy to get fast, reliable internet, and a WiFi router included.

The Lifeline program helps lower the cost of internet. If you receive government subsidies or live on Tribal land, you may be eligible. Here’s what’s available:

- Lifeline—a federal discount for qualifying low-income households in Washington, Idaho and Montana
- Oregon Lifeline—a combined state and federal program offering additional monthly savings for qualifying Oregon residents

## Your Ziply Fiber WiFi router

Good news! A WiFi router is included at no additional cost for Lifeline customers. Here's how it works:

- New fiber internet customers get a WiFi router included with their plan from day one for internet up to 5 Gig. No equipment fees, no surprises.
- All other customers can receive a Lifeline WiFi router at no additional cost if they need one.

Either way, you're connected with reliable whole-home WiFi and easy setup. Or our team can walk you through it.

## Programs for schools, libraries & healthcare providers

Ziply Fiber participates in additional federal discount programs for qualifying institutions. If you represent a school, library, or rural healthcare provider, significant savings may be available.

- [E-Rate program](/content/resources/discount-program-types/erate/index.html)  
Schools and libraries may qualify for discounts of up to 90% on phone and internet services through the federally funded E-Rate program. Discounts are based on the percentage of students eligible for the National School Lunch Program and the school or library’s location.

- [Rural Health Care (RHC) discount program](/content/resources/discount-program-types/ruralhealthcare/index.html)  
Rural healthcare providers shouldn’t have to pay more for internet than urban counterparts. The RHC program helps eligible rural health clinics and hospitals access affordable, high-quality connectivity to support patient care and telehealth services.

- [Service Provider Information Number (SPIN)](/content/resources/discount-program-types/spin/index.html)  
Schools, libraries, and qualifying organizations applying for E-Rate funding need a Service Provider Information Number (SPIN). Ziply Fiber can provide this as part of the E-Rate application process.

##### Please note that the qualification and approval of applicants seeking discounts is determined by the Program(s) itself/themselves, and not by Ziply Fiber.
