When it comes to internet, it’s always time to pay a decent fee, or with the best rate, but not with extreme speed. Since the world is the same, having a slow internet connection isn’t enough for everyone, from ordering food to watching your favorite vloggers. Fortunately, the administration has tried to help low-income families get access to high-speed internet.
Last May 9, 2022, the Government released a statement of restraining the engagement of 20 web providers – Comcast, Charter Spectrum, and Verizon – to lower the cost of high-speed internet. This amazing news is going to benefit up to 80 percent of the world’s population. If there is a participating Internet store in your area, just make sure you are eligible for this program.
Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) will permit millions of Americans to lower their broadband costs by up to 30 per month and for tribal lands with up to seventy-five percent. The Biden-Harris administration is pushing a vast push to ensure that all of the affected homes in charge of this new program are managed as quickly as possible.
- Reach out to qualified households through the federal agencies.
If it is for the purposes of qualifying for a PC, the households who are receiving money or in the participation of other federal programs, such as Medicaid, SSI and Pell Grants, are considered eligible for a PPC. The agencies in charge of these programs will plan a campaign to contact families that qualify for ACP. For example, 1.6 million people who have a Social Security Account and Supplemental Security income receive an email in which they inform them they’re eligible for the ACP.
- Developing a partnership with a public throne.
The government will work with public interest organizations such as Goodwill, Unidos, Catholic Charities USA, and United Way in order to train their national networks to do research for the ACP. They will partner with Proper and make a better known source of information utilizing the Providers app and inform more than five million underprivileged families in the country.
- How do you use Get Internet.gov?
With GetInternet.gov, Americans can learn to register for ACP and see whether the internet service provider in their area participates in the program.
- Work with cities and state:
The administration has teamed up to spread the information to the state and the local governments. Millions of eligible families will be texted by cities like Arizona, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mesa, Philadelphia and New York.

What’s in the affordable Connectivity Program?
There is no doubt that one of the most important platforms of the Obama administration was to eliminate the digital divide. In long term, households who don’t have access to high-speed internet can affect their lives. For example, people who connect to the internet can see more opportunities for education and career, especially if they are growing up in remote countries and jobs across the world.
Fortunately, as part of the ACP, the largest Internet affordability program in our nations history, President Biden and VP Harris worked across a wide variety of party lines. More than half (most three-quarters) of American households qualify for the ACP because one or more household members earn less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) or meet one of the specific criteria.
The ACP is offering a discount of up to $30 per month for the internet services offered by a participating provider to eligible households who participate in the program. Eventually, a household in a tribal land can save up to $75 a month. There are more than 1.300 Internet providers involved in this program. More than 11,5 million families are enrolled in the ACP as of this time.
Conclusion
ACP is an excellent program that can help many americans afford high-speed internet. However, there’s a serious doubt about the transparency of the participating internet providers.
