The federally funded Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provided $30 per month for eligible households to help cover internet service costs, is ending. This change affects more than 35,000 households across Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties.
In response, the Lowcountry Digital Equity Coalition has launched an ACP Funding webpage to connect those who have recently lost the ACP benefit with resources and information for assistance.
Below are news stories detailing the regional response to the end of ACP funding:
