6 million households to lose internet after ACP lapse, report says

A quarter of U.S. households that relied on the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) to help pay for internet will drop their connections. That finding, along with others, was included in a recent Maravedis report, a market intelligence firm that has a focus on wireless infrastructure, multifamily connectivity, and smart technologies. The report, titled “Managed Connectivity for Affordable Housing in the United States 2024-2029,” also concluded that a quarter of former ACP-enrolled households will maintain internet service. According to the findings of the report, half of households formerly enrolled in the ACP will fluctuate to on-and-off service based on promotional programs.
