What is the Affordable Connectivity Program?
The ACP (Affordability Connectivity Program) is a Government subsidized program that began in December 2021. It provides a discount of $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households and $75 per month for households on qualifying tribal lands.
Why is the ACP ending?
The funds allocated by Congress are going to run out in April 2024, and no additional funding has been added to keep the program running. Please note that since this is a Government subsidy, it will impact all participating providers including Hughesnet®. For more information, click here to visit the official ACP website.
I’m enrolled in ACP. What happens next?
April 2024 will be the last month, the full ACP discount will be applied on your bill. With the depletion of funding, you may receive a partial discount on your May 2024 bill. Click here to learn more about the partial discount.
After May 2024, your monthly service plan rate will default to a standard rate without the ACP discount, and you will be subject to the current Hughesnet subscriber agreement available at legal.hughesnet.com
