FCC rules protect Affordable Connectivity Program participants by:

• Ensuring consumers have access to supported broadband services regardless of their credit status;
• Prohibiting providers from excluding consumers with past due balances or prior debt from enrolling in the program;
• Preventing consumers from being forced into more expensive or lower quality plans in order to receive the ACP;
• Ensuring that consumers are not liable for early termination fees;
• Reducing the potential for bill shock or other financial harms;
