Discount Services.
GRTI offers several discount programs to help keep our community connected. See if you qualify for savings on your monthly bill.
Connect 45.
Save up to $45 on your internet bill
Looking for a smarter way to save? Connect 45 is your opportunity to enjoy up to $45.00 off your monthly bill when you choose one of our internet plans starting at 50 Mbps.
How to Qualify:
Current on their bill (no past-due balance)*
On a minimum speed plan: 50 Mbps if customer is NOT on Lifeline // 100 Mbps if customer IS ON Lifeline**
*GRTI will conduct an internal review to confirm the applicant’s account has no past-due balance. GRTI will only make changes if the customer’s account has no past-due balance. If a customer is denied enrollment due to having a past-due balance and later pays it off, the customer is responsible for calling GRTI to upgrade their speed or must submit this application again to enroll in the program.
**Changes to a customer’s Lifeline discount may affect their billing. If a customer loses access to the Lifeline program while maintaining a Connect 45 discount, the customer will be expected to pay the difference. If a customer on the 50 Mbps plan with the Connect 45 discount later gains the Lifeline benefit, that customer agrees that GRTI may automatically upgrade them to the 100 Mbps plan to avoid carried balances and their bill will increase by $0.25 per month.
This discount program is funded using a federal grant. Discounts are available through December 2027 or until all grant funds are exhausted, whichever comes first. As the program approaches its end date, we will ask customers to select a service tier for after the discount expires.
This discount can be combined with other existing offers, and the exact amount may vary depending on your selected plan.
