The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ended the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) officially due to a lack of additional funds from Congress. Providers, including Xfinity, no longer offer affordable services accredited with the ACP.
However, customers can still get affordable internet services from Xfinity with Xfinity NOW. Starting at just $30/mo., users can get unlimited data and fast and consistent speeds even at peak hours. Let’s check out how Xfinity NOW Internet fills the gap that ACP left behind.
