Discounted Internet Service

More than a dozen internet service providers have agreed to continue offering discounted internet plans to low-income households through the end of 2024, as the federal program subsidizing the discounts comes to an end.

The Affordable Connectivity Program has ended and will no longer be available to families who qualify; however, you can still purchase discounted internet service from providers, such as: AT&T, Spectrum, Verizon and others.
