ACP & Low-Income Internet FAQs
Is the ACP (Affordable Connectivity Program) still active in 2026?
No. According to public FCC records, the federal Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) ran out of funding and stopped accepting new enrollments and stopped issuing monthly benefits in 2024. Congress has not renewed it. If you previously had ACP, your discount has ended. The good news: low-cost home internet for low-income households is still available starting at $19.99/mo through ISP low-income plans and authorized dealers like All Home Internet.
What replaced ACP for low-income internet?
There is no direct federal replacement yet. The closest options are the federal Lifeline program (up to $9.25/mo discount), ISP-run low-income plans (Xfinity Internet Essentials, Spectrum Internet Assist, AT&T Access, Cox Connect2Compete, Optimum Advantage) priced from $9.95–$19.99/mo, and standard low-cost plans starting at $19.99–$29.99/mo with $0 down through All Home Internet.
How do I get cheap internet for low income without ACP?
Enter your ZIP above. We show the low-income and low-cost plans available at your address, with qualifying plans starting at $19.99/mo. Deposit, installation and equipment terms are set by each provider and confirmed for your address before you order.
Can I still apply for ACP?
No. The ACP application portal is closed and new enrollments are not being accepted. Anyone telling you to apply for ACP today is misinformed. Focus instead on Lifeline, ISP low-income plans, or a low-cost $19.99/mo plan.
Will ACP come back?
Possibly, but there is no confirmed funding or timeline. Several bills have been introduced in Congress to restore ACP but none have passed as of 2026. We recommend not waiting — secure a low-cost plan today and switch later if ACP is reinstated.
