Missing the ACP? You Still Have Options: Low-Income Internet Guide for All 50 States
“Internet service providers have had various responses to the end of the ACP. Some ISPs, including CenturyLink, Quantum Fiber and Google Fiber, are returning ACP customers to standard rates. Others offer special low-cost plans that may have slower speeds than standard plans (think 50 megabits per second). Other ISPs are more generous with their discounts. For example, Cable provider WOW introduced new, simplified plan pricing at $30 monthly. Brightspeed and Kinetic by Windstream are continuing a $30-per-month discount for existing customers who qualified for the ACP. The federal Lifeline program isn’t an ACP replacement, but it can be helpful with affording home internet.”
