House Republicans Set to Raise Monthly Internet Costs for 23 Million American Households

Tomorrow, full funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) will expire, forcing millions of families to face stark price hikes on their monthly internet bills.

The ACP - a product of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law - serves over 23 million American households, providing discounts for monthly internet bills.

A recent survey conducted by the FCC found that more than two-thirds of beneficiaries to the ACP said they had inconsistent or no internet service prior to the program's existence.

Meanwhile, a majority of House Republicans - including their most vulnerable members - have endorsed pulling the plug on this important program.

While House Republicans continue to cave to the demands of Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene, House Democrats have introduced common-sense legislation to replenish the fund to keep monthly bills low for millions of Americans who rely on access to affordable internet.

DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
"House Republicans are spending all their time plotting to create new tax breaks for the ultra rich while refusing to lift a finger to help working families afford to stay online. That says everything you need to know about their 'priorities.'"
