9 Spectrum Internet Deals to Know About

What is the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)?
The ACP is a U.S. government-run program run by the Federal Communications Commission program. It is designed to help low-income households pay for internet services as well as internet-compatible devices like laptops and tablets. If your household is below 200% of the Federal Poverty Line, or if you receive SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC, Pell Grants or free or reduced lunch, you are most likely eligible for the ACP.
On the ACP, you’ll receive a discount of up to $30 off of your internet service and up to $75 off of your internet service if you live on tribal land. You will also likely be eligible for a discount of up to $100 on a desktop, laptop or tablet, with a co-payment between $10 and $50.

In the United States, the term “tribal land” refers to any territory within the extended boundaries of Indian reservations and all Indian communities.

The history here is complicated and fraught, but if you are an Indigenous person in need of internet service, it’s worth noting that Spectrum has recognized and vowed to support Native American tribes.
