Verizon ACP : Save up to $30/mo with the Affordable Connectivity Program
back to menu ↑What is ACP?
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) was created by Congress and implemented by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to assist eligible households to pay for internet services. The ACP will provide assistance to customers needing to connect to jobs, healthcare and virtual classrooms.
The goal of this program is to ensure that internet service is affordable for everyone. However, you must use the service to keep the subsidy. If you reach 30 days without any internet usage, you may no longer be eligible to receive the subsidy.
Verizon recognizes the importance of internet connectivity and is pleased to make the ACP subsidy available to our eligible customers.
