Keeping Alaskans Connected

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) ended in April, 2024. Federal funding is depleted and no new enrollments or subsidy benefits are available.

However, you may still qualify for Lifeline Broadband. Households that previously qualified or were eligible for the ACP program may qualify for Lifeline Broadband, a similar subsidy that provides a discount, up to $34.25 a month, on broadband internet service.

How does the ACP discontinuation impact previously - enrolled households?

  • Customers can continue to enjoy internet connectivity
  • Additional discounts and benefits may be available through other programs, including the Lifeline Broadband benefit, providing a discount of up to $34.25 off of monthly service
  • Please check Lifeline eligibility at AlaskaCommunications.com/Lifeline or 907-564-3375 during business hours (M-F, 8a-4p)
