The Affordable Connectivity Program (successor to the Emergency Broadband Benefit plan)

Assurance Wireless is part of the Affordable Connectivity Program, and was created to provide a discount on broadband service to help eligible households stay connected to jobs, critical healthcare services, and virtual classrooms.

 

What do I get with ACP?

Not every ACP offer is the same. With Assurance Wireless, eligible new households received a FREE smartphone, plus all the following benefits every month:

  • FREE Unlimited Data including 25GB High-Speed Data
  • FREE Unlimited Texts
  • FREE Unlimited Minutes
  • FREE 2.5GB Mobile Hotspot Data

During congestion, heavy data users (>35GB/mo.) and customers choosing Assurance Wireless or similarly prioritized plans (e.g., T-Mobile Essentials, Metro by T-Mobile) may notice lower speeds than other customers due to data prioritization. Full speeds available up to data/tethering allotment; then slowed to up to 600kbps speeds for balance of service period. Video typically streams in SD.

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a government program that reduces the customer’s broadband internet access service bill. One discount per eligible household and is non-transferable across households. An eligible household may obtain ACP-supported broadband service from any participating provider of its choosing and may apply ACP benefit to any broadband service offering of the participating provider at the same terms available to households that are not eligible for ACP-supported service. ACP service provider may disconnect the household’s ACP-supported service after 90 consecutive days of non-payment; the household will be subject to the provider’s undiscounted rates and general terms and conditions if the program ends, if the consumer transfers their benefit to another provider but continues to receive service from the current provider, or upon de-enrollment from ACP.
