Two Months Free Internet Service Available

LABELLE, FL. -- Comcast is offering two months free internet service to certain households and if qualified, $9.99 per month after that period.

To help manage the COVID-19 emergency, Comcast is taking steps to help connect low-income families to the Internet at home. New "Internet Essentials" customers will receive two free months of Internet service, which is available to all qualified low-income households for $9.95/month plus tax. Apply by April 30, 2020.

Additionally, for all new and existing Internet Essentials customers, the speed of the program's Internet service has increased to 25 Mbps downstream and 3 Mbps upstream. That increase will go into effect automatically for no additional fee and it will become the new base speed for the program going forward. "During this extraordinary time, it is vital that as many Americans as possible stay connected to the internet – for education, work, and personal health reasons,” said Dave Watson, Comcast Cable Chief Executive Officer.

-Qualifications include if you are eligible for public assistance programs such as the National School Lunch Program, Housing Assistance, Medicaid, SNAP, SSI and others.

-You do not have outstanding debt to Comcast that is less than a year old. Families with outstanding debt more than one year old may still be eligible.

-You live in an area where Comcast Internet service is available but have not subscribed to it within the last 90 days.
