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. 

A household may file a complaint against its provider via the FCC’s Consumer Complaint Center, consumercomplaints.fcc.gov; visit affordableconnectivity.gov for more information on ACP. 

Unlimited while on our network. Mobile hotspot up to 10GB 4G LTE. Capable device required. Coverage/offer is not available everywhere. Assurance Wireless reserves the right to change or cancel offer at any time. Prohibited network use rules and other restrictions apply. 

By activating your device and service, you agree to the Assurance Wireless Terms and Conditions. See terms (including arbitration provision) and details at assurancewireless.com.

*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.
