Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) 

Federal Subsidy for Internet Service

The Affordable Connectivity Program is a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program that provides a $30 subsidy on monthly broadband (internet service) bills for qualifying low-income households.

We help bring low-cost internet service and affordable computers to those who need it. EveryoneOn

works with a wide range of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and device providers to feature their

low-cost internet service programs and computers on our platform.

The ISP and device providers featured on our platform have met our minimum service, device and price standards, and are committed to working with EveryoneOn to connect people to the power of technology. 

Eligible participants can receive:

  • Up to a $30/month discount on your broadband service and associated equipment rentals

  • Up to a $75/month discount if your household is on qualifying Tribal lands

  • A one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer (with a co-payment of more than $10 but less than $50)
