Affordable Connectivity Program Webinar

A Virtual Event

ACP is a longer-term replacement for the Emergency Broadband Benefit, designed to help keep families connected to the Internet. Qualified households can receive a monthly credit of up to $30/month (up to $75/month for customers in Tribal lands) towards their Internet and mobile services.

As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping everyone connected, Comcast is proud to participate in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides eligible households a credit of up to $30/month towards their home and mobile broadband Internet service. We're making it simple for both new and existing customers to apply this credit towards Xfinity Internet, Internet Essentials and Xfinity Mobile services.
