Free Internet Services: Comcast launched two new features of the Internet Essentials program. First, low-income families living in a Comcast service area can sign up as new customers to receive 60 days of free Internet Essentials service (usually $9.95 a month). It is also increasing speeds for the service from 15/2 Mbps (downstream/upstream throughput) to 25/3 Mbps for all new and existing customers, which will become the standard speed of the service going forward. To qualify customers must be eligible for programs such as the National School Lunch Program, Housing Assistance, Medicaid, SNAP, or SSI. Applicants can visit internetessentials.com to enroll in the program; they may also call (855) 846-8376 for English or 855-765-6995 for Spanish.”
