Affordable Connectivity Program

Important updates regarding the FCC’s ACP program

happy people

Answering all your ACP questions

Due to a lack of additional funding from Congress, the Affordable Connectivity Program will not be able to accept new applications after February 7, 2024.

If you were receiving the ACP benefit prior to February 7, 2024, you will continue to receive your benefit through the end of the program, if you stay enrolled. The last fully funded month of the program is April 2024. Once the program ends, households will no longer receive the ACP discount on their monthly internet bill and standard plan rates will apply.

When the program ends, you will see the current ACP discount come off of your bill, resulting in an increase of up to $30 per month on your internet service. We understand the significance of this adjustment, and we have a selection of plans to fit your home’s needs and your budget to help keep you connected. There may also be other assistance programs that you may be eligible for, such as Lifeline, which is another FCC program that offers an internet discount. As a reminder, you can change or cancel your Lumos service at any time without penalty.

*Offer is available to eligible residential accounts in all Lumos markets where fiber is available. The rate of $0/mo is based on a credit of $30/mo with ACP and a promotional price of $30/mo on 100 Mbps (upload) x 100 Mbps (download) fiber internet.

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a federal government benefit program operated by the Federal Communications Commission and, upon its conclusion, or when a household is no longer eligible, customers will be subject to standard rates, terms, and conditions. The ACP is non-transferable and limited to one discount per household. Eligibility requirements apply. A monthly credit of up to $30 will be applied to eligible accounts during the duration of the program; customers will be responsible for any charges over the $30/mo.
