Paying the Internet bill every month in the United States can be a worry for its residents.
However, there is an assistance program that will allow you, if you are eligible, to receive a discount of up to $30.00 USD to pay for your Internet. In fact, you still have time to request it. The deadline to request this financial aid expires on February 7.
With the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), you will have a discount of up to $75.00 USD per month for qualifying households. But that’s not all, families can save up to $100.00 USD when you purchase a laptop, desktop or tablet from participating vendors. All of this if they contribute more than $10.00 USD and less than $50.00 USD with respect to the purchase price.
With the ACP you will be able to pay at a lower price for the Internet broadband you have at home. This way, you will have high-quality service and monthly deposits will be much lower.
