    Frequently Asked Questions

    This program includes 90 days of free coax, or cable, internet service. It also includes all the necessary equipment and your installation. This program is not valid for our satellite and fixed wireless internet services or our TV and phone services.

    If you choose not to continue on to be an Astrea customer, the equipment must be returned.

    There are a few different areas we look at to determine if you qualify. The first area being that you either have a student in your home that is either full-time or part-time distance learning, or you yourself are a student or teacher that must distance learn or teach either full-time or part-time.
     
    The second qualification we look at is your current internet speed package. If your home currently receives less than 50mpbs download speeds, you qualify. If you don't know for sure, just submit an application anyway and we'll be able to walk through that with you. 
     
    You also must be a new Astrea customer. For current customers, we are waiving our upgrade fees if you need a higher speed package. Keep scrolling on this page to find the link to request an upgrade.
     
    Finally, your home must be located within our cable service area. We also need to be able to connect you without any construction related needs. 
     Again, if you're not sure, submit an application anyway and we can verify that for you.

    Absolutely not. We will reach out to you prior to the end of the free service period. If you would like to disconnect, we will disconnect the service and you will be required to return the equipment.

    If you do not return the equipment or the equipment is damaged, a fee will be assessed to you.

    That’s okay. Submit an application any way. Once we get in touch with you we should be able to determine how much speed you’re currently receiving.

    That’s okay. Submit an application. By checking your address, we’ll be able to determine that very quickly.

    You can certainly continue service with us. Prior to the free service period ending, we will reach out to you. At that time, if you choose to continue with us, we’ll discuss all your service options and set up an account for you.
