From Twin Lakes Telephone Cooperative Corp.
The Tennessee Public Utilities Commission designated Twin Lakes
Telephone Cooperative Corp. (“Twin Lakes”) the “Eligible
Telecommunications Carrier” for its service area for universal service
purposes. The goal of universal service is to provide all citizens access to
essential telecommunications services.
Twin Lakes provides the supported services—voice telephony service and
broadband Internet access service—throughout its designated service
area. This includes access to:

• Voice grade access to the public switched network
• Minutes of use for local service provided at no additional charge
• Access to emergency services provided by local government or other
  public safety organizations, such as 911 and enhanced 911
• Toll limitation service for qualifying low-income customers
• Broadband Internet access service which includes the capability to
  send data to and receive data from the Internet, but excludes dial-up
  service.
  Twin Lakes Telephone Cooperative Corp. provides basic single party
  residence (with unlimited local usage) and basic business service for rates
  which range from $22.34-$39.99 for residential customers and
  $27.50-$36.99 for business customers. Broadband Internet access service
  is provided at rates which start at $49.99 per month for residential
  customers and $69.99 per month for business customers. Twin Lakes
  would be pleased to provide you with specific rates for your area upon
  request.
  Twin Lakes offers qualified customers a Lifeline Service Discount. Lifeline
  is a non-transferable, federal benefit that makes monthly phone or
  broadband service more affordable. Eligible households may apply the
  monthly Lifeline discount on either voice (home or wireless) or broadband
  (home or wireless), but not both. The current discount provided under
  Twin Lakes Lifeline service is $9.25 per month for broadband with a
  minimum speed of 25/3 Mbps subject to certain exceptions or $5.25 per
  month for voice-only service for each month the customer qualifies.
  A household is eligible for the Lifeline discount if the customer’s annual
  household income is at or below 135% of the federal poverty guidelines.
  You may also qualify for the Lifeline program if a customer, a dependent,
  or the customer’s household participates in one or more of the following
  programs:
• Medicaid
• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
• Supplemental Security Income;
• Federal Public Housing Assistance (FPHA)
• Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit.
  Twin Lakes will not discriminate against any individual for any reason and
  will provide services to all citizens in a nondiscriminatory fashion. It is the
  intent of the Twin Lakes to fully comply with the provision of Title VI and
  Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Twin Lakes is committed to a moral,
  ethical, and legal responsibility to ensure equitable employment practices
  and the delivery of services regardless of an individual’s race, color,
  religion, national origin, age, disability, gender or political affiliation.
