Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) wind-down information

The phrase “last fully funded month of the ACP” refers to the last month ACP households will receive the full ACP benefit applied to their internet service.

If you currently receive the ACP benefit, you may still qualify for Lifeline, which is another federal program that makes phone and internet service more affordable.

If you qualify for Lifeline, you can get a monthly benefit of:

• Up to $9.25 off the cost of internet or bundled phone and internet services
• Up to $34.25 off the cost of internet or bundled phone and internet services if you live on qualifying Tribal Lands
  
  

If you already qualify for Lifeline, you will continue to receive those discounts toward your internet service.

Note: Qualification for ACP does not automatically qualify you for Lifeline.

If the ACP ends, your plan will not be changed without your authorization. However, we will no longer apply the monthly ACP discount you currently receive to your CenturyLink internet service. Without this discount, your monthly bill will be affected, and your service will continue to be subject to the CenturyLink Internet Subscriber Agreement.

If you do not wish to receive internet service after the end of ACP or would like to change your service plan, contact us to discuss your options.

Unless you’ve chosen to disconnect your internet service when the ACP ends, we do not plan to proactively disconnect customers’ internet service when the ACP ends.

Existing ACP consumer protections remain in effect. For more information, please visit the ACP protections page.
