Sparklight Launches Lift Internet to Help Households Affected by End of Affordable Connectivity Program
PHOENIX, Ariz. (June 2, 2025) – The 2024 expiration of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) left a gap in support for households relying on affordable internet access — a gap Sparklight® is helping to fill with Lift Internet, a low-cost broadband plan designed to keep qualifying households connected to education, economic opportunity and community.
“Sparklight’s Lift Internet is truly a lifeline,” said Lois Pinson Bragg, a Sparklight customer since 2008. “With prices rising everywhere, it’s a relief to have affordable, reliable internet that keeps me connected to friends, family and essential services. Through programs like this, Sparklight is helping fill the void left by the discontinuation of the Affordable Connectivity Program.”
Available now across most of Sparklight’s service area, Lift Internet is priced at $29.95/month for households who qualify through federal assistance programs. The plan includes a free modem, free standard installation and requires no credit check.
Lift Internet supports the essential connectivity households depend on for work, school, healthcare and daily life, especially in the wake of the ACP’s discontinuation.
“From students and job seekers to working parents and caregivers, Lift Internet supports the real needs of our communities,” said Tony Mokry, Senior Vice President of Residential Services. “We believe access to reliable internet is a necessity, and we’re committed to removing the barriers so that we can support our neighbors in the communities we serve.”
Lift Internet runs on Sparklight’s fiber-powered network, delivering reliable performance and security backed by local service and decades of trusted experience. This launch reflects Sparklight’s long-standing commitment to keeping customers connected as their needs continue to evolve.
