The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs is currently in the challenge phase, which means providers and communities can dispute the FCC broadband maps that determine which locations qualify for funding — a critical step before deployment grants are awarded. The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) previously provided up to $30/month subsidies for eligible households, though federal funding expired in 2024. Some providers continue offering voluntary low-income discounts.
