The ACP Has Ended for Now
Due to a lack of additional funding from Congress, the Affordable Connectivity Program has ended for now. Effective June 1, 2024, households will no longer receive an ACP discount.
ACP enrolled households are strongly encouraged to carefully review written notices from their internet company and from the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), the ACP administrator, about the end of the ACP.
Households are also encouraged to consult their internet company to learn more about how the end of the ACP will impact their internet service and bill.
For more updates about the end of ACP, refer to fcc.gov/ACP and AffordableConnectivity.gov.

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) was a federal program that offered eligible households a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal Lands. Eligible households could also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 toward the purchase of a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating internet companies if the household contributed more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price.
The ACP launched in December 2021 and as of February 8, 2024, over 23 million households relied on the program to access affordable internet service before the $14.2 billion in funding Congress made available ran out.
Not all internet service providers participated in the Affordable Connectivity Program.
The FCC provided the following tools to find a participating provider in your area:
- Use the Companies Near Me Tool. You can search internet service providers by city, state/territory, or zip code.
