Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FCC Affordable Connectivity Program?
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is an FCC program that will provide a temporary credit toward broadband service for eligible households. Visit https://www.fcc.gov/acp for more information about the program, eligibility criteria, and how to apply.
I am a current HughesNet customer. How do I get the benefit with my HughesNet service?
Current HughesNet customers can apply for the discount at https://getinternet.gov/apply today. Upon approval, contact HughesNet Customer Care at 1-866-347-3292 and our agent will verify eligibility, provide plan details and sign you up for the ACP discount.
How much does broadband service cost?
The Affordable Connectivity Program provides a $30 monthly credit for broadband service per eligible household, or up to $75 monthly credit per eligible household on Tribal lands. The credit will be applied to your broadband service, but the ultimate cost to you will depend on the eligible service plan you select. Call to learn about plans and pricing in your area.
What service plans are eligible for the Affordable Connectivity Program?
All Residential service plans are eligible for the program. Business plans are not eligible at this time.
What happens when the Affordable Connectivity Program Ends?
You will be notified about the last date or billing cycle that the full benefit will apply to your bill (and the date or billing cycle that a partial benefit will apply to your bill.) The notification will also include information about the cost of your broadband service after the program ends, should you choose to continue with the service. Important note: Your broadband service will end when the program ends, unless you request or opt-in to continue broadband service once ACP ends.
