Affordable Connectivity Program

Important Notice: ACP funding discontinued

updated January 2024

Through federal funding, the ACP provides a $30 monthly discount to your Tipmont account for home internet service. Unfortunately, ACP funding is estimated to run out in April 2024.

When those funds run out, participating households like yours will no longer receive a $30 monthly discount for home internet service through Tipmont or any other internet service provider.

Amid budget discussions, it is unknown whether Congress will choose to continue ACP funding. Tipmont has no influence over ACP funding decisions. We are disappointed by these events and the complications they may create for you and your household. If you wish to voice support for the ACP, we encourage you to contact your state and federal government representatives.

Any bill for service sent after Thursday, March 14, will reflect the price without an ACP discount.
