Affordable Connectivity Program
(ACP)

What is it?

The Affordable Connectivity Act is a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program with the purpose to help low income households afford broadband service.

Lifeline

Low-income consumers who need help paying for voice, broadband or wireless service, may be eligible to participate in the Lifeline program.

Lifeline is a non-transferable, federal benefit that makes monthly voice or broadband service more affordable. Eligible households may apply the monthly Lifeline discount to either landline voice or landline broadband service.

You may be eligible to receive Lifeline if you, or a dependent, receive any of the following:

Unresolved complaints concerning Lifeline service can be directed to the Georgia Public Service Commission’s Consumer Affairs Unit at (404) 656-4501 or, Toll-free in Georgia, at (800) 282-5813.
