Affordable Connectivity

What is the Affordable Connectivity Program?

The Affordable Connectivity Program is an initiative aimed at providing low-cost internet access to households with limited financial means. In other words, with the internet becoming increasingly important in our daily lives, access to this service is essential for education, job hunting, healthcare, and other basic needs. The program offers affordable and reliable internet services, as well as discounted devices to households that qualify. All things considered, this program is especially important for families with children who need internet access for remote learning or individuals who are seeking employment or need to access healthcare services. As a result, by increasing access to affordable connectivity, the program seeks to bridge the digital divide and ensure that everyone has equal opportunities to thrive in our increasingly digital world.

The Affordable Connectivity Program works by partnering with internet service providers and offering discounted rates for households that meet certain income requirements.

How is it funded?

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a new long-term program created by Congress to provide income-qualified Vallejo residents the chance to connect to high speed internet! Nationally, the new ACP will maintain the existing discounts of up to $30/month for eligible customers. As a matter of fact, VIP & SyberFiber will subsidize another $10/month for these customers. Therefore, this will allow residents access to 100 megabit internet for free or 1 gigabit for $19.95/month.

Henceforth, the funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program is essential for ensuring that low-income households have access to affordable internet services and can participate fully in our increasingly digital society.
