Important Affordable Connectivity Program Updates
-
At Choice Wireless we have always focused on providing our valued customers the best choice in service at affordable prices. One of the most impactful ways we have helped to ensure cost is not a factor for connectivity has been by championing the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) benefit offered by the FCC.
Unfortunately, unless the federal government intervenes with additional funding, this federal benefit offering may no longer be available after April. Starting February 8, 2024, there will be no more enrollments into the ACP, but customers already enrolled in the Program can transfer their benefit between service providers, if desired.
Our Commitment: While we await further information from Congress, and as a part of our commitment to ensure our valued customers utilizing this program remain connected, we will continue to provide you with important program updates and service offerings.
Please see below and continue to visit our website for up to date information on the ACP wind-down, provided by the FCC.
Details
Historically, the Affordable Connectivity Program has helped to ensure that households can afford the broadband they need for work, school, healthcare, and more. However, without additional funding from Congress, the allotted $14.2 billion to fund the ACP is projected to run out in April 2024 (this date is an estimate and may change). As a result, the FCC has begun taking steps to wind down the ACP, which means:
New ACP applications and enrollments will not be processed after February 7, 2024 at 11:59 PM ET.
Starting February 8, 2024, no new enrollments will be accepted.
Households who have applied, been approved, and are receiving the monthly internet discount before February 8, 2024 will continue to receive their ACP benefit until ACP funds run out, as long as the household maintains program requirements.
After the ACP funds run out (projected in April 2024), households participating in the ACP will no longer receive the ACP subsidy from the Federal Government.

Timing
Late January 2024: Households that are currently receiving a monthly ACP benefit will start to receive notices from their internet providers with information about the end of the ACP benefit.

February 7, 2024: This is the last day that the ACP will accept new applications and enrollments. Eligible households must be approved and enrolled with an internet company by 11:59 PM ET on February 7th to receive the ACP benefit. Starting February 8, 2024, there will be no more enrollments into the ACP.
April 2024: The FCC anticipates existing ACP funding to run out in April 2024 if Congress does not provide additional funding. Consumers that are enrolled in the ACP will continue to receive their benefit on their internet service through April 30, 2024. This date is an estimate and may change
