Charter investor lawsuit over ACP fallout and broadband losses

Charter investor lawsuit over ACP fallout and broadband losses

A fresh class action intensifies scrutiny of Charter Communications broadband strategy and disclosures following the end of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) and a sharp Q2 subscriber decline. New complaints filed in the Southern District of New York allege Charter and senior executives misled investors about the operational and financial impact of ACPs expiration. ACP, which provided a $30 per month subsidy to eligible low-income households, exhausted funding in June 2024; Charter was the largest ACP participant with more than 5 million subsidized broadband customers. In Q2 2025, Charter reported a net loss of roughly 117,000 Internet subscribers, including about 50,000 disconnects associated with ACPs end.
