About the Affordable Connectivity Program

Congress created the Affordable Connectivity Program, a new long-term, $14 billion program. This investment in broadband affordability will help eligible low-income customers ensure that they can afford the connections needed for work, school, health care and more for a long time. The Affordable Connectivity Program will provide a discount of up to $30 per month towards any broadband service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands. The Affordable Connectivity Program is limited to one monthly service discount per household.
