All Xfinity Internet and Xfinity Mobile Services Available
March 9, 2022 – The federal Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provides eligible low-income households a credit up to $30 a month toward the cost of Internet service ($75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands). Participants in the program can apply the ACP credit toward the cost of participating plans from a variety of Internet Service Providers, including Comcast’s Internet Essentials program and all the company’s Xfinity Internet and Xfinity Mobile plans. Xfinity Internet and Internet Essentials customers who qualify for ACP can use the credit to save money on their Internet bills. Households that choose plans totaling $30 or less will essentially receive their service for free.
“Comcast has connected more than 10 million Americans to the Internet since we launched Internet Essentials, our low-cost broadband adoption program for low-income households, in 2011. We’re proud to carry on our tradition of working to close the digital divide by participating in ACP,” said Chris Smith, Comcast’s Regional Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
