What to know
The Affordable Broadband Act makes it easier for people who receive benefits like SNAP or Medicaid to get discounted internet service at home. Important details • The Affordable Broadband Act is a permanent law guaranteeing discounted internet for eligible households, unlike the Affordable Connectivity Program which was a temporary COVID-19 pandemic benefit. • The law requires large internet providers to offer 25 Mbps (or more) plans for no more than $15 per month. Internet providers can also comply with the law by offering 200 Mbps (or more) plans for no more than $20 per month. • These reduced-cost plans already include taxes and equipment fees, so you dont pay more. • Plans, speeds, and providers depend on your location. • You dont have to buy any other services (sometimes called bundles) with the plan. • Mobile and dial-up services arent included.
Hours, eligibility, and availability can change. The official provider or program source has the latest information.
