    Each business day, Connect sends email invoices to each account coming due. (One of the cost savings that allow Connect to offer very affordable Internet access is not mailing postal invoices) If you do not check your Connect email, you will not receive these reminders and your account may expire. Your email account is automatically started when we process your application. Should you not know how to access it, simply contact Connect support and we'll be glad to help you get started.
