Viya to Continue Offering Discounts After Affordable Connectivity Program Ends

Viya, the leading telecommunications provider serving the U.S. Virgin Islands, reaffirms its commitment to providing discounted services even as the federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) approaches its wind-down at the end of the month

Despite the absence of additional funding from Congress, Viya will continue its efforts to expand connectivity offers for residents in need.

Under the Affordable Connectivity Program, eligible residents who received government assistance from other programs received $30 off any Viya internet plan or a free mobile with internet. Focusing on keeping the 5,000 USVI residents currently enrolled in this program connected, Viya emphasizes its dedication to bridging the digital gap within the community by continuing to offer discounted rates.

Vice President of Public Relations and Governmental Affairs Jennifer Matarangas-King said, “Viya was the sole service provider to launch an aggressive ACP campaign directly to the community at strategic sites to ensure everyone was aware of this low-income assistance program. During the Affordable Connectivity Program Wind Down process, we will continue working with our key partners, such as the Department of Human Services and the Virgin Islands Housing Authority, to ensure that all ACP recipients receive continued access to discounted services.”
