Unleash the power of the CTF program

The CTF program provides a 50% discount* for select broadband services offered by Spectrum Enterprise in California.**

The program was established by Decision 96-10-066 on October 25, 1996. In this decision, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) reaffirmed its commitment to universal service, and created the CTF program in accordance with state and federal directives. The program is managed by the CPUC.

*Actual discounts for schools and libraries may vary based on application of federal E-rate Program discounts. See Spectrum Enterprise E-rate webpage FAQs for details on how E-rate functions with CTF.

**Once your organization is approved by the CPUC, you are required to notify your service provider before discounts can be applied to your bill. (You will receive your approval notification about CTF funding via email.) You can notify Spectrum Enterprise by e-mailing DLGSPDept@charter.com your account number and CTF application number to receive your discounts
