It seems like good internet service is as important as lights or heat these days. What would you do if you lost internet service? How would you even stay in touch with people. Now imagine not having internet at all, or worrying about it getting shut down because you couldn’t afford it.
That’s why the federal government created the Affordable Connectivity Program, or ACP. If you or your kids qualify for pretty much any sort of federal aid, you can probably also qualify for a discount on your internet service and a one-time rebate on a new device. It’s a way to make sure you have the connection you need. To me, it seems like a great idea.
If you’re asking, “how does our government even function?”
The funding for the government’s Affordable Connectivity Program is set to run out in April unless it’s renewed. For now, they’ve suspended new signups. I’m not an accountant or a congressional scholar, but it seems like all that needs to happen is that the people in the House of Representatives need to just agree to do it. But, over and over again it seems like we get right to the brink of losing funding for something before they act. Again, not pointing fingers at one side or another. Truth is, it’s the public that suffers no matter what.
It’s very possible that it will get down to the wire, to the last few days, and someone will strike a deal with someone and the program will continue. But why not take advantage of it while it’s definitely here and ready to go? You could be saving money right now. You might not even need to change your service provider. It’s just a couple of forms and we will help you through the process.
