AT&T: Closing the Digital Divide in Illinois with Connected Learning

New Connected Learning Center in Chicago

AT&T recently opened a new Connected Learning Center in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago inside New Life Centers of Chicagoland.

We’re providing internet connectivity, devices and digital learning resources as part of the AT&T Connected Learning initiative and our $2 billion commitment from 2021 to 2023 to address the digital divide through internet accessibility, affordability and safe adoption.

Affordable Internet Connectivity

AT&T is committed to connecting more Illinoisans to reliable, high-speed broadband internet in several ways, including expanding and upgrading our network and participating in the federal Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). The ACP provides eligible households with a benefit of up to $30 a month (up to $75 on qualifying Tribal lands) to reduce the cost of broadband service and can be applied to all our AT&T Fiber speed tiers.

Additionally, those who qualify can apply ACP benefits to Access from AT&T to get internet speeds of up to 100Mbps, where available, for $0. After confirming ACP eligibility, those who qualify can call us at 855-220-5211 to discuss options and order service and must have their National Verifier application ID available.
