Learn how President Biden is reducing the cost of high-speed internet and find out if you qualify to sign up.


En Español



As part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, President Biden and Vice President Harris worked with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to create the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides eligible households $30 per month off their internet bills. ACP-eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers. 


To deliver maximum cost savings to families, the Biden-Harris Administration has secured commitments from 20 leading internet providers to offer ACP-eligible households a high-speed internet plan for no more than $30 per month. Eligible families who pair their ACP benefit with one of these plans can receive high-speed internet at no cost.

How To Sign Up for the Affordable Connectivity Program

Step 1: Claim Your Affordable Connectivity Program Benefit

You can send in an application by mail:

Step 2: Contact a participating internet service provider to choose an internet plan

  • Once your application is approved, contact a participating internet service provider to choose a plan and apply your benefit to that plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What if I also need help getting a tablet or computer?

    ACP-eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from certain participating providers, with a small copay. To get a discounted device, contact a participating provider. The providers offering discounted devices are listed at https://www.fcc.gov/affordable-connectivity-program-providers.

  • How much is my Affordable Connectivity Program benefit?

    Most eligible families can receive a benefit of up to $30 per month applied to the cost of their internet service. ACP-eligible households who live on Tribal lands are eligible for a benefit of up to $75 per month.

  • Are these plans fast?

    Yes – they offer a minimum of 100 Mbps download speed, which is fast enough for a typical family of 4 to video conference, stream movies or TV, and more.

  • What if I need funding for my whole community to access high-speed internet?

    The Biden-Harris Administration’s Internet for All initiative is investing $65 billion to provide affordable, reliable, high-speed internet for everyone in America. Learn more about these funding programs for community infrastructure, digital skills, and technology at internetforall.gov.

  • Can I receive both the Affordable Connectivity Program and Lifeline benefits?

    Yes. You can also combine these benefits with other state and local benefits where available. They can be applied to the same qualifying service or separately to a Lifeline service and an Affordable Connectivity Program service with the same or different providers. For example, an eligible household could have a Lifeline-supported mobile phone service and a separate home internet service that is supported through the Affordable Connectivity Program.
