Americans are experiencing a surge in internet costs, raising concerns for low-income households. The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides internet service discounts to over 23 million households, is set to expire in April due to funding shortages. The program’s shutdown could result in significant cost increases or service loss for subscribers. Congress faces challenges in renewing the ACP, with House Republicans expressing concerns over fiscal restraint. The Biden administration and Senate Democrats support additional funding for the program, while the FCC urges ISPs to assist affected Americans. The future of internet affordability remains uncertain as prices continue to rise.
