Accessible and Affordable Internet for All

Due in large part to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and notably the American Rescue Plan, South Carolina has received $1.1 billion to ensure every home and business is connected to high-speed internet by 2026.

Thanks to the Affordable Connectivity Program, nearly 420,000 South Carolinians save $30-$75 per month on their internet bill.
