    Affordable Connectivity

    Keeping Alaskans Connected

    The Affordable Connectivity Program is a temporary government program operated by the Federal Communications Commission that began on December 31, 2021, related to the Cares Act in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to help with equitable household connectivity. This program provides a subsidy giving customers up to $75 per month toward home internet for eligible households. However, beginning in (expected) April, 2024, the federal benefit is expected to run out of funding and is planned to be discontinued. As of February 8, 2024, new ACP enrollments will not be accepted.

    What should I expect and how does this impact my ACP-enrolled household?

    • Households enrolled in the ACP will continue to receive monthly discounted service until funds are exhausted (expected in April, 2024)
    • During the wind-down period, customers will receive regular notices about the program ending, timing, and the impact to bill and service, as well as options to continue service
    • During this time, customers can switch service to Alaska Communications without penalty

    I already have the ACP – can I transfer my service to Alaska Communications?

    Yes – you can transfer your ACP benefit from another internet service provider to Alaska Communications and continue to receive the benefit as long as the program is active.
