The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which is administered by the Federal Communications Commission, gives low-income households a discount on internet services so they don’t have to decide between purchasing broadband or other necessities. 

The Affordable Connectivity Program provides for consumers:

  • A $30 per month benefit to help households afford access to high-speed internet service.

  • Up to a $75 per month discount if the household is on qualifying tribal lands.
