About the Affordable Connectivity Program

The Affordable Connectivity Program is a federal government benefit program operated by the FCC that helps ensure that households can afford the broadband they need for work, school, healthcare and more. The benefit provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households. The Affordable Connectivity Program is non-transferrable and limited to one monthly service discount per household.  If the program ends, or when a household is no longer eligible, subscribers will be subject to Trilight's standard internet rates and terms.
