Affordable Connectivity Program

Millions of Americans still lack access to broadband service, according to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Xfinity is proud to participate in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides qualified households with a credit of up to $30/month (and up to $75/month on tribal lands) towards broadband services. In the past few years, the United States has made significant progress in expanding access to high­ speed internet. And while the resources are there, getting families online remains part of the challenge. ACP offers a once­-in-­a-­lifetime opportunity for millions of American households to get online for little to no cost. To see if you qualify, visit Xfinity.com/ACP.
