Rebate Time Line
You should expect the following timeline for the submission and fulfillment of your 
rebate: 
1.  Rebate forms should be submitted as soon as possible after you receive your 
broadband modem; you should NOT wait until installation/activation is complete. 
2.  Status on a rebate can be found here
, but allow 4 weeks from postmark date for 
status to first appear here. 
3.  Rebates are mailed 8-10 weeks after activation. What this means is that, for 
instance, if a customer orders on Dec 12, and mails their rebate form the next 
day, the soonest they will see their rebate status online will be Jan. 13; if their 
order is activated Dec 28, they will not likely see their rebate check until at least 
Feb 28 and it could be up to Mar 15. Until the point the check is printed and 
mailed, the online rebate status will say 'in process'. 
Checking the Status of the Rebate Online

Customer Support. 
The rebate will NOT show in the system until 8-10 weeks after installation. This is 
because the rebate center doesn't process the rebates until then. Once a rebate is in the 
system, it is usually only a couple weeks for the check to go out. 
You can determine eligibility for a rebate by viewing this page
. 
Rebate checks will not be mailed until 25 days after order activation, but you do not need 
to wait until activation to submit your rebate form. You are encouraged to submit your 
forms as soon as possible to ensure that you receive the check 8-10 weeks from 
installation. Waiting until your order installs/completes adds delay to the rebate process.
