Eligible households can now get free internet through AT&T by combining a new plan from the low-cost Access from AT&T program (https://www.att.com/internet/access/) with federal benefits from the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) (https://about.att.com/story/2022/affordable-connectivity-program.html).
The Access from AT&T program now provides faster internet plans with up to 100 Mbps of symmetrical speeds for $30 per month, an increase from the 10 Mbps maximum provided in the original Access from AT&T plan. In addition, there’s no cap on data usage with the new $30 Access from AT&T plans.
Customers who prefer the original plans and have speeds of 10Mbps or less available can still take advantage of reliable internet with the $5 – $10 per month plans.
All households that qualify for ACP will also qualify for the Access from AT&T program, including the newest speed tier. Eligible households that take advantage of the up to $30 per month ACP benefit (or up to $75 per month for those on qualified tribal lands) can then receive internet service at no monthly charge.
How do I take advantage of free internet?
First, confirm that you are eligible for the ACP benefit and get approved with the federal government’s National Verifier at acpbenefit.org. Then, call 1-855-220-5211. AT&T will verify your ACP approval and set you up on a plan with the ACP benefit.
You can choose to apply your ACP benefit to the Access from AT&T plan, or you can apply it to most of AT&T’s existing plans. Check out which AT&T internet plans are available in your area at https://www.att.com/buy/broadband/availability.html.
