Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ordered providers to stop accepting new ACP enrollments. Visit www.fcc.gov/acp and https://affordableconnectivity.gov/ for more information and further updates regarding the ACP benefit and wind-down process.
April 2024 is the last fully funded month for the ACP. Mid-Rivers will provide ACP discounts to existing ACP customers through May 2024. June 2024 bills will be the first statements without ACP discounts.
