AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM

What is the Affordable Connectivity Program?
Point Broadband is proud to participate in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). You may be eligible for up to $30/month toward your Internet service. Congress recently created the Affordable Connectivity Program, a new long-term, $14 billion program, which will replace the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program. This investment in broadband affordability will help ensure we can afford the connections we need for work, school, health care and more for a long time.

How It Works
