The word is out and low-cost high speed internet is on the
doorstep of many of our clients. Comcast and CenturyLink are working to bring
high speed internet to over 400,000 people who are unable to afford the bulky
monthly payment under normal situations. Best of all the cost is only $9.95 per
month.
Comcast Information
To qualify the household must be located where Comcast internet
offers its services, which all of our clients live in this regional area. The
household must also have at least one child eligible to participate in the
National School Lunch Program (with up to date documents). The household must
not have subscribed to Comcast Internet service within the last 90 days and
they must not have overdue Comcast bills from the past or unreturned equipment.
To apply for the low-cost internet a client or
representative must call 1-855-8-Internet (1-855-846-8376) to request an
application. Comcast will follow up with an application which the household
fills out and sends in and then waits for a status update/confirmation.
