Affordable Connectivity Program
Selectel Wireless is helping you stay connected through the new Affordable Connectivity Program(ACP).
What is the Affordable Connectivity Program?
Congress recently created the long-term $14 billion Affordable Connectivity Program which will replace the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program. This investment in broadband affordability will help ensure eligible households can afford the internet connections needed for work, school, health care and more for a long time.
The benefit will provide a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service including Mobile Broadband for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands from a participating provider.
Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if they contribute more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price.
New Selectel Wireless customers will also receive a Free Smartphone.
The Affordable Connectivity Program is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household. If you have already received a one-time device discount on the EBB program you are not able to receive the connected device discount on the ACP program.
