What is the Affordable Connectivity Program?

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a U.S. government initiative that helps low-income households pay for internet service and connected devices. Eligible families can receive a discount on their monthly broadband bills and may also qualify for a one-time discount on a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet. The program aims to ensure that more Americans have access to affordable, high-quality internet, which is essential for work, education, healthcare, and more.
