Affordable Connectivity Program
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is an FCC benefit program that helps ensure that households can afford the broadband they need for work, school, healthcare and more. The benefit provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if they contribute more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price.
The Affordable Connectivity Program is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household.
February 7, 2024: This is the last day the ACP will accept new applications and enrollments. The FCC expects funding to last through April 2024, running out completely in May.
The Affordable Connectivity Program can now be accessed at GetInternet.gov.
