Beaver County Affordability Finder

The Connect Beaver County Broadband Program is working to bring high-speed broadband connection to nearly 2,000 previously unserved or underserved locations through partnerships with internet service providers (ISPs) Armstrong, Kinetic, Verizon, and Comcast. Additional ISPs also offer various internet technologies and services throughout the County.

This tool offers you a unique way to research ISPs available at your location so that you may choose one that best suits your needs and budget. When an ISP is available at your location, direct links to the ISP’s low-cost plans webpage are provided in the right-hand column, when offered.
