Telecom companies are notifying customers about the end of a subsidy program that provided cheap internet to Americans, which could push up internet bills for millions.

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) federal initiative offered households up to $30 per month in discounts toward their internet service. For households from qualifying tribal lands, the discount went up to $75. More than 23 million households are enrolled currently.
