Missing the ACP? You Still Have Options: Low-Income Internet Guide for All 50 States

Although the Affordable Connectivity Program may be over, internet discounts are available regardless of your state.

As of June 1, 2024 funds for the Affordable Connectivity Program officially ran out and low-income households can no longer get substantial federal assistance for home internet access. The winding down of the ACP affected more than 23 million households — many in rural areas where internet options are limited — who were enrolled in the program which allowed them to stay connected without sacrificing basic necessities.

Congress has failed to provide further funding for the continuation of the ACP, which shaved $30 (or $75 on tribal lands) off monthly broadband bills for participating low-income households. “High-speed internet isn’t a luxury anymore — it’s an absolute necessity,” President Joe Biden said in a speech in April calling for an extension of the program where he cited the importance of broadband for schoolwork, telemedicine and small business.
