Internet Service Credit

The federal Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provides eligible low-income households a credit up to $30 a month toward the cost of Internet service ($75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands). Participants in the program can apply the ACP credit toward the cost of participating plans from a variety of Internet service providers, including Comcast, as well as mobile services. Households that choose plans that cost $30/month or less will essentially receive their service for free.

More than 10 million Americans have already signed up for the ACP. Learn more about eligibility, how to apply and available plans at www.xfinity.com/acp.
