Millions of families will face bigger internet bills starting in May because a federal broadband subsidy program is set to expire.

The Affordable Connectivity Program provides a $30 monthly subsidy to help low-income households pay for internet service. The program is slated to run out of money at the end of the month.

The Affordable Connectivity Program is a federal program that lowers the cost of internet for recipients up to $30 per month and $75 a month for those on Tribal lands. 1,718,552 Texans are enrolled in the program. However, the program will likely end next month if Congress doesn’t fund the program.

The federal money will be added to the $1.5 billion investment made by state lawmakers this session to increase broadband availability across Texas.
