Starting today, many more American families will have the opportunity to connect to the Internet. Comcast has rolled out its “Internet Essentials” program to all 39 states that it services in the US, giving eligible families access for $9.95 a month. The service was previously offered in a limited amount of areas, but has now expanded nationally.
As Time reports, Comcast has agreed to not increase the price, and not tack on any extra fees for things like activation or equipment rentals. In addition to the cheap Internet, subscribers are also offered a computer for $149.99 at sign-up along with free Internet training.
In order for a family to be eligible for the discount, they must meet four requirements: be located where Comcast offers service (obviously), have at least one child part of National School Lunch Program, have not subscribed to Comcast Internet within the last 90 days, and not have any outstanding bills with Comcast.
