Need to see updated information on free and low-cost internet plans? Look no further – NDIA has a great resource to help people in your community find the latest available plans.
The updated Free & Low-Cost Internet Plans webpage now includes a catalog of over 25 available low-cost internet plans—many of which are entirely free thanks to the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). For each plan, we’ve included information about the ISPs, consumer cost, speeds, additional fees, and more.
We designed this page to be a helpful resource for digital inclusion practitioners, community leaders, ISPs, libraries, media, and others who may give guidance to clients, constituents, and members of their communities.
Three weeks ago, the White House announced that it had secured commitments from 20 ISPs to offer high-speed internet (at least 100Mbps download speed) plans for no more than $30 per month to ACP-eligible households. NDIA reached out to these ISPs and collected information on these new plans—all of which have been added to the Free & Low-Cost Plans page.
NDIA is committed to keeping the Free & Low-Cost Plans page updated with timely and relevant information. The NDIA team actively seeks out information about low-cost plans from ISPs and verifies information as we become aware of it. New plan information is added and updated on a weekly basis – so you can continue to use this as a trusted resource. Bookmark it now!
Recognizing that NDIA is not aware of every low-cost plan on offer, we encourage ISPs, our affiliates, and others to share additional plans that should be added to this page. To suggest additional content, email [email protected]. Additional plans should adhere to the Free & Low-Cost Internet Plans page criteria, which are listed on the page.
