Is it possible to get free* unlimited internet service from AT&T with the Affordable Connectivity Program?
Yes, if you’re approved for the federal Affordable Connectivity Program, you’re also eligible for low-cost internet service called Access from AT&T if you apply your ACP benefit to that service.
To qualify for free* unlimited internet, you should first get approved for the ACP,** then sign up for Access from AT&T and apply your ACP benefit. You can read more information on how to get free* internet service here.
*W/Access from AT&T plans up to 100Mbps. Terms, conditions & restr’s apply.
**If you are already approved for Lifeline, you automatically qualify for ACP. There is no need to re-apply.What’s the difference between Lifeline and the Affordable Connectivity Program?
Lifeline is a government assistance program which provides eligible low-income subscribers an opportunity to receive the Lifeline benefit on certain voice and broadband Internet access services. Like ACP, the Lifeline benefit is nontransferable, only eligible consumers may enroll in the program, and the program is limited to one Lifeline benefit per household.
If you currently receive a Lifeline benefit, you automatically qualify for the ACP, and you can receive both benefits at the same time. Both benefits can be applied to the same qualifying service or separately with the same or different providers. For example, an eligible household could have a Lifeline-supported wireless phone service and a separate home internet service that is supported through the Affordable Connectivity Program.
What AT&T Internet plans are eligible for the Affordable Connectivity Program benefit?
The benefit is available on all AT&T Internet plans, including AT&T Fiber, which is now delivering up to 5 GIG speeds in select areas.* The ACP benefit will remain on your account even if you upgrade your service.
If you choose an internet plan that costs more than the monthly benefit available through the ACP, you are responsible for any amount over the $30 per month (or over $75 per month on Tribal lands) ACP benefit.
*Limited availability in select areas. Internet speed claims represent maximum wired network service capability speeds to the home and recommended setup. Actual customer speeds are not guaranteed. Single device wired speed maximum 4.7Gbps. For more information go to att.com/speed101
What services does the Affordable Connectivity Program cover?

For purposes of applying for the Affordable Connectivity Program, how is “household” defined?
"Household" is defined as any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address as one economic unit. An "economic unit" is defined as "all adult individuals contributing to and sharing in the income and expenses of a household." You can read more about how household is defined and examples here.
How do I know if my household is eligible for the enhanced Tribal benefit?
You can find out more about which areas are eligible Tribal lands by visiting this site.
What if I already receive an Affordable Connectivity Program benefit for wireless service?
Each household can only receive the monthly Affordable Connectivity Program benefit on one service at a time, so if you already receive the ACP benefit on your wireless service, you would not be eligible for the ACP benefit on your internet service at the same time. You may transfer your benefit from your wireless service to your internet service.
