-
23 Million Housholds
were enrolled, and tens of millions more were eligible for this important benefit.
-
Up to 77% of participating homes
may be forced to switch plans or stop using internet service altogether due to the loss of the ACP benefit, according to an FCC survey.
-
A 30% Discount
on internet bills and $100 toward eligible devices has been provided to households by ACP.
Having broadband access is linked to our health, our well being, and our economic security.
This is especially true for the Latino community, Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color, as well as rural and low income households. Having access to the internet allows students to continue to learn, parents the option to pursue remote employment options, and it allows all of us to learn new skills to remain competitive in today’s job market.
In a rare bipartisan consensus, continuing the ACP is backed by a strong majority of voters including 62% of Republicans, 78% of Independents, and 96% of Democrats. 80% of adults 50+ also support funding the program.
