On January 11, 2024, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) will end in the next few months unless the US federal government provides additional funds for the program.
If you are a FastMesh ACP customer on or before February 7, 2024, you will continue to receive the up-to $30 ACP benefit to your ACP-supported internet services until the end of the ACP so long as you continue to be eligible to participate in ACP and remain a FastMesh customer. After February 7, 2024, the ACP will not accept new or re-enrolled ACP participants. If the ACP ends and you continue to receive FastMesh internet services after the ACP ends, the full undiscounted rate for your service will apply or there may be the option to select an alternate package. Additional information will be coming soon regarding your future package options.
The FCC will provide more information on the status of the ACP in the coming weeks, and FastMesh will provide further updates as they become available.

GO DIRECTLY TO APPLICATIONWhat is the ACP?
Being connected is more essential than ever. The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is an affordable internet program signed into law by Congress that provides consumers a discount of up to $30 per month off eligible broadband service. At FastMesh we believe high quality Internet belongs to everyone, so we have worked hard to receive approval to distribute this benefit and ensure as many eligible households can access the program as possible.
How is it paid for?
This program is funded by the US Treasury. Simply claim it for use towards eligible broadband service. As an approved provider, FastMesh will distribute this benefit through recurring monthly discounts on your internet bill. All we need is your consent to be enrolled and you will receive a discount towards any FastMesh plan, up to $30 per month. This includes our highest speed plans, for as long as the broadband benefit funds are available.
Who Qualifies for the ACP?
The best way to find out is to apply. FastMesh has received special approval to offer the ACP benefit to our customers through own internal verification process. If you are seeing this, you are likely qualified and should apply right away.
Additionally, your household may be eligible if one or more members:
(1) qualify for public assistance programs such as the Federal Lifeline Program, Housing Assistance, Medicaid, SNAP, SSI, WIC, and others
(2) received a Federal Pell Grant,
(3) received benefits through free and reduced-price school lunch programs or
(4) have household income less than 200% of the federal poverty guideline.
