In response to the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on society, multiple Internet Service Providers are providing low-cost internet service programs to ensure individuals and families stay connected to the internet during this challenging time. Managing editor Tami Roleff has more information…
Having an affordable home Internet connection is critical to stay informed and in contact with friends and family during the COVID-19 emergency. Several Internet Service Providers offer low-cost, affordable home Internet for qualifying low-income households. If you receive food stamps, if your child qualifies for a free or reduced-price lunch, if you are on Medi-Cal or MediCaid, receive SSI, use Section 8 vouchers, or if your household income is under $40,000 a year, you may qualify for low-cost Internet service.
For a limited time, AT&T, Charter/Spectrum and Comcast are offering two months free home Internet for new subscribers and offers carry conditions. (Households signing up with Spectrum must tell the representative on the initial call that they want the free 60-day offer applied to Spectrum Internet Assist if they want to continue with the affordable $23 monthly rate after the free period. Failing to do so means they will pay the full rate of $55 a month.) Neither Spectrum (which is not requiring a National School Lunch Program letter for a limited time only) nor Comcast allows existing customers to downgrade their services.
Several companies, including AT&T, Charter/Spectrum, Comcast, Cox, Frontier, T-Mobile, and other ISPs pledge for the next 60 days to not terminate service and they will waive late fees for any residential or small business customers because of their inability to pay their bills due to the coronavirus pandemic.
