You Can Save $30/Month On Your Internet Bill
Thanks to the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), eligible individuals and families can qualify for a $30 discount on their monthly internet bill. Depending on your internet service package, you could receive internet services for free.
What is the Affordable Connectivity Program?
The ACP is a U.S. government program run by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program that helps low-income households pay for internet service and connected devices such as a laptop or tablet. If your household is eligible, you could receive:
- up to a $30/month discount on your internet,
- up to a $75/month discount if your household is on qualifying Tribal lands,
- a one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer,
- and a low-cost internet service plan that may be fully covered (aka free) through the ACP.
To receive the device discount, you must enroll in the Affordable Connectivity Program with a participating provider that offers devices.
Who is eligible?
Individuals and families can qualify for the Affordable Connectivity Program:
- based on their household income,
- if they or their child/dependent participates in government assistance programs like SNAP, WIC, and Medicaid,
- or if they (or anyone in their household) already receives a Lifeline benefit.
Only one monthly service discount and one device discount is available per household. See which companies offer high-speed internet for $30 per month or less (free with the ACP discount).
