You can count CheapInternet.com among the biggest boosters of Comcast’s Internet Essentials program. Now the company is addressing one of the program’s biggest shortcomings by conducting a pilot program designed to bring Internet Essentials to low-income senior citizens.
Comcast also announced that it is doubling the speed of Internet Essentials and now offering free wireless modems to all new and existing customers. You can read more about that development if you Click Here.
The pilot program will be conducted in West Palm Beach, Florida where CBS12 television reports that, “For $9.95 a month the Internet Essentials Program not only extends to qualified low income senior citizens…” but that “… the first 100 seniors in the Boynton Beach area who sign up for the Internet Essential Program will receive free internet for the next 6 months.”
philly.com reports that “Comcast will begin the project for senior citizens in Palm Beach County, Fla., and expand it to other markets throughout the United States through the fall” and that although specifics are yet to be determined, it is expected that “Senior citizens who earn $35,000 a year or less are likely to qualify for the program.”
Surveys show that seniors use the internet far less than other demographic groups. According to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, just 47% of those age 65 and over (47%) have broadband at home. The Digital Divide is even more dramatic among low-income seniors.
We certainly urge Comcast to conduct and analyze the pilot program and develop a nationwide senior citizen internet program as quickly as possible, because this would address one of the major criticisms aimed at Internet Essentials.
As consumerist.com said, “The program currently limits eligibility to households with at least one child who can participate in the national school lunch program. Thus, households with pre-school age children, grown children, or no children at all have been omitted. This includes the elderly, many of whom — especially in urban areas — live at or near the poverty line and often have little to no Internet access.”
We doubt that anyone understands the plight of senior citizens better than those of us here at CheapInternet.com, because we received hundreds — maybe thousands — of heartbreaking emails from senior citizens and families of senior citizens on limited incomes who simply cannot afford typical budget-busting monthly internet bills of $60, $70 or more.
So once again, we tip our caps to Comcast and congratulate them for this effort to bring the Internet Essentials program to an expanded audience.

Ruthanne McCabe says
Hello, when will internet for low income seniors be coming to red hill, Pa.?
I have been paying the triple package plan of $157. monthly for 20 years now in my Senior apartment complex. I worked 3 jobs to pay for it, but retired at age 85. Unable to handle weekly setup by myself any more or working at auctions as well. Been LOYAL comcast customer. Would like to sell on ebay. Feel safer with my landline phone all alone. Please answer me!
CheapInternet.com Administrator says
You’re really paying a lot, Ruthanne. We can see why you’d like to enroll in a cheaper plan. Unfortunately, you have two options: (1) Find a company other than Comcast that offers a low-income plan in your area, or (2) cancelling Comcast for 90 days and then enrolling in its low-income plan. Sorry, we know it’s a stupid regulation but that’s how it works. To find all the plans available in your area, visit EveryoneOn.org and plug in your zip code.

I’m looking for an internet connection to keep my job. As this coronavirus start back in March, and now I have to do my work from home I haven’t been able to do so. I’m 64 years old with some health issues and I don’t know if I ever will find an affordable internet connection to keep my only job that pays for all my living expenses. I hope that I found an affordable internet connection before I lose my job.

It’s very sad that a Senior Citizen must meet the criteria of receiving public assistance. I only receive Social Security on a monthly basis and it’s not disability. The amount I receive is $1,130.00 and I’m age 67; my daughter has been doing her best to financially supplement my needs.
How can I receive Low Cost Internet services to be able to communicate with Loved Ones, Friends and on-line banking, bill pay?

I am greatly interested in a lowcost internet service. I am on a fixed low income and I do not need or want TV service or to bundle in my cell phone. I do, however. need a low-cost internet service. My income bracket is just over being eligible for the $10 internet service. Right now, I am sharing the internet service with my nephew who does qualify for the $10 a month internet, but it will not be available to me in a few days. It will be necessary for me to seek another internet service then. By the way, I am 81 years old.

Handone says
There are only 2 Internet/TV providers that I see that really does care about ALL low income people. Not just kids going to school, as most providers require to sign up. AT&T & Cox I throw my hat off to. The rest can jump off a cliff, for they don’t want the business of us, DISABLED, ELDERLY, & people who are just plain low income. Those providers must be a part of the NEW WORLD ORDER. Comcast,Suddenlink.
AT&T & COX,Qualifications are the BEST, SMARTEST, & MOST CARING. Not to mention professionally set up.
The requirement the rest of these providers on this list must be on SSI, & 65 yrs old. You are considered a senior when you are 55 yrs old, You can retire at 62 yrs. old & be on Social Security & SSI at the same time. But that is if your SS is below the amount of your SSI. Ex; Your SSI check is 743.00, which is the amount EVERYONE gets, (Federal pays out the same amount to all), & your SS check is only 650.00, the difference would be the amount.,93.00. Unless your state adds to that amount , some do & each state amount is different. I am on SSDI, Social Security Disability I am 60 & receive 800.00 a month & 60.00 food stamps. But not eligible for any help for AT&T does not cover my state. To these other uncaring providers I am not low income & deserving of their services, DISCRIMINATION in my book, I may as well be Black, right? Now how confusing is all this. AT&T for example is simple. Be a client of SNAP/Food stamps. The state did all the work singling out the low income for them, plus it’s based on the 135-150 % of poverty level. Now why aren’t these other providers set up simple like AT&T & COX, & cover all the low income sufferers, Why because they don’t care & just want more money in their bank account. These providers need governed & reported to the FCC. If not that, I am sure AT&T & Cox with someday take care of all the states & then AT&T & Cox along with, us undesirables can kick them to the curb, as they have us. JUST RELEASED FROM SOCIAL SECURITY:
-38 percent of all American workers made less than $20,000 last year.
-51 percent of all American workers made less than $30,000 last year.
-62 percent of all American workers made less than $40,000 last year.
-71 percent of all American workers made less than $50,000 last year
Looks like AT&T & Cox are really make the money. Hope they cover ID< WA< MONT< & others soon. I will go without internet before signing up with the others!

Kat Miller says
Sadly, I have checked every single one that you have listed on your site (cheapinternet.com) & what ‘sux’ is that the ones that do service my area (NW Indiana) are mostly geared towards low-income families w/school aged kids or are all about kids on school lunch programs.
My roommate is a Marine/Vietnam vet on SSI, Medicaid & SNAP – I’m a ‘state-disabled’, SNAP & Medicaid recipient, (we live off of his monthly ck, as I have been ‘fighting’ for over 4-1/2 yrs w/SSA, to get my disability for my worsing MS), who are forced to pay over $100./mon, just to have cell/WiFi ‘hotspot’ service, for our communication needs. What’s worse is that our area reception is almost non-existence (no matter where we place our ‘hotspot’ @ in the house….) & ALL the major carriers around us want to charge us double, or even triple, the amount/cost, for home Internet along w/all the equipment charges piled on top of it…..
I feel as if these so-called Internet service providers could really careless if the disabled/Seniors/military vets have any means to communicate w/those that we really need to (ie: family, doctors, etc….) but, are willing to ‘rape’ our low-income demographic group (they think we have money – haha, really NOT funny Comcast, AT&T, Frontier, etc…)
Where is our ‘voice’ & who is fighting for our demographic group/groups???
CheapInternet.com Administrator says
Excellent questions, Kat. We agree with you and have often editorialized about it. That being said, have you checked out PCs for People? They are more widely available than the other plans and we list only the states in Sprint’s national network, the organization says it now has customers in all fifty states. Check them out.

I am a 71 yr old veteran with 65 yr old disabled wife. We have worked, raised and educated children, served our great country with lifelong contributions. It is heartbreaking that new Generations of the largest, richest US companies greedily resort to deceitful, abusive tactics to generate profits.
It is definitely time for a company with Honor and Integrity to lead the way for American billion-dollar giants to become conscious of human obligations to the less fortunate, and “give something back”. Elderly can’t earn as we once did. Thank You, Comcast, on behalf of every Senior able to participate in your great program.

I can’t see where this helps senior citizen’s. Most if not all of us don’t have school age children. Were just broke with low incomes and simply can’t afford high cost internet.

Betty Nichols says
I am a 63 year old widow who has been with cable since it came to Louisville, ky many years ago. I am on a fixed income. I am raising my granddaughter and need the internet. Time Warner goes up every year. How low of an income do you need to get a fast internet speed. I read where you have to go 3 months without internet. That’s impossible. School is beginning soon. I am ready to let go of my tv and stick with Netflix and get rid of my home phone because I have a very inexpensive android I can use. There are a lot of people that I talk to that have the same problem. Bill too high and goes up every year. Yet, if you are new, you get an inexpensive bundled program for a year, then it starts going up. Seniors and low income need help. Especially since so many of us are raising our grandchildren. Just needed to vent. Thanks
Fred Maiolie says
Yes. Thank You Comcast! I was a customer for many years when I lived in PA. Now here in GA. for over 2 years. I am 80 and I just today canceled my cable TV because I can not even afford their basic plan and went to antenna for the local stations. I pray that this venture with the internet service works in Florida and that we get it here in GA. very soon. And maybe in the future we will be able to also get cable TV that we seniors on social security could afford. The Golden Years are not so Golden for us these days.

Help! Please extend the senior program to the state of California.

We hear you, Dr. O. A lot of seniors would be helped if this program expanded to other companies and other states.
Caryl BERNER says
I live 2 blocks from Palm Beach County. I am in Broward County. I believe you can understand my frustration living so close yet so far away.! My community has free wi-fi on the premises for which I am grateful, nonetheless there is no place like home. I just gave up Comcast when they raised me once again.
I called Internet Essentials and was told if they receive many requests (in my case Broward County), that that may put a firecracker into the decision making to make it available.
I am an activist (without in-home internet access) which means I will work to have Comcast Senior Essentials come to Broward.
Tell me if you can, how long does a “pilot program” run before they assess the program. Seems this one may be going on for two years. Seems they should know by now. Any help to the end of nationwide Senior Assistance would be appreciated. Let’s get AARP involved!
CheapInternet.com Administrator says
Go to the following link and check out PCs for People. It’s a great alternative if it’s available in your area. We’ll also be posting a story Monday about a new low-cost service.

How do I apply for senior internet?
CheapInternet.com Administrator says
Unfortunately, Valerie, there is no widely-available program for seniors yet. The program described in this article is only available as a pilot program in several markets. But come back to CheapInternet.com frequently, because we’ll let you know as soon as there’s news for seniors.
sandy says
I have been periodically checking with Comcast about programs for Seniors. Is this Senior program for internet service in effect now? I get conflicting replies from them. I was also told that it was planned not to charge for the TV boxes, but when I checked up on this, the rep didn’t know anything about this change.
CheapInternet.com Administrator says
No, Sandy, the pilot program has not yet been concluded, so the plan is not available to the general public yet. Keep coming back to CheapInternet.com, because we’ll give you all the details as soon as they are available. Have you read the following article about the expansion of the Lifeline Assistance program to include broadband? Help is on the way. Read this article:

Is low cost internet available to either seniors or low-income households in the Middlesex County, New Jersey area. i.e. – South Brunswick, East Brunswick, North Brunswick, New Brunswick, Milltown?
CheapInternet.com Administrator says
We are unable to track availability of all the programs on a town-by-town basis. However, you can check the list of states and towns we’ve listed for each company. They may not always been 100% accurate, but they’re a good indication of availability of each program.
Stephanie says
Can people on disability receive, low cost internet.
CheapInternet.com Administrator says
Disability alone is not enough to qualify, Stephanie. Most of the programs base eligibility on participation in government assistance programs such as the National School Lunch Program, etc. Here’s a page that shows all the programs. Check them out.

Myra R. Goddard says
Yesterday I received my monthly bill from Comcast. I almost fainted. It was for $61.10. Yes, I did upgrade my router because they said I had to. I’ve been paying $50.55 per month for economy plus internet only. Someone helped me with setting up the new wireless router. As an 88 year old widow with only income of SS, and small pension of $80.63 monthly I cannot afford this.I get extra help from Medicare, and Medicare D. My computers were gifts, as my kids upgraded theirs, and my i-phone 5 was a birthday gift a couple years ago. I quit my wired phone years ago, and have been added on to my daughter’s phone, so I have to pay for only internet, and use wi-fi mostly. I don’t know of anything I can do except quit having internet. Too bad, as it is my only entertainment; just can’t afford it anymore. We didn’t get a raise in SS this year, and prices on everything have gone up so much.Also living in a manufactured home now for 24 years, since my husband passed away. Thanks for listening.

CheapInternet.com Administrator says
Sorry to hear about your problems, Myra. But here’s a quick question: You mentioned Comcast, but do you have a Comcast Internet Essentials account? It doesn’t sound as if you do. The problem we see if that one of the Internet Essential rules says that you must not have had a Comcast account for 90 days. If they will not allow you to switch to Internet Essentials (just $9.95 per month), you should look into this independent plan:

Good luck. Please let us know what happens.
Carol Ryan says
“. . . monthly internet prices of $60, $70 or more.” I would certainly like to know where these prices are found. I pay $135 to Comcast/Xfinity per month. I am an 83-year-old senior citizen with a monthly income of less than $1200 month. I live in Broward County so look forward to your service in the near future.
CheapInternet.com Administrator says
You need to call Comcast immediately and ask about its Internet Essentials program for low-income Americans. Based on your income, you would qualify for much less expensive Internet service.
In fact, it sounds like you’re being overcharged even for regular cable. Comcast’s website currently offers fast internet, and cable TV with 140 channels and HBO for just $69.99 per month.
Seriously, Carol, call Comcast tomorrow morning and ask about cheaper service. You’re paying far too much.
Donald Kalkreuth says
How many seniors do you know who have children in school? MY GRANDchildren are out of school. This requirement is absurd!

You have hit on one of the flaws in this program. However, there is hope. Check out this article on Comcast’s pilot program aimed at senior citizens:

Of course, that will not do you any good now because the pilot program isn’t being conducted in your area. But here’s another program that may help you:

Lilia says
I am a senior and I live in a senior apartments. My SSA benefits from working for 40 qtrs. is just enough to pay my rent and pay for my groceries. I got rid of my Uverse bundle taking away TV and just using an indoor antenna. I do not watch all those 130 channels that these cable companies offer just to get you to pay up more. I only have wifi internet service that pay @$47 a month but for a senior and retire like me that is still too much but better than paying for $100 something for a bundle. I am blessed with having a free telephone service with the California Freedom Plan through Assurance Wireless. Although I am using the ZTE smartphone still that is a great help with no bills to pay and with unlimited texts and calls. I got rid of my landline years ago. I am glad that I found out about this internet service for seniors.

Patricia Anderson says
I have been going around and around with Verizon. They are increasing my monthly cost for DSL to force me to switch to FIOS. My rate has increased $7.58 over a one year period. They have quoted me a rate two dollars less that my current DSL rate with 12 month and 24 month discounts amounting to a $20 increase in 12 months and another $20 increase in 24 months. My cost will increase to $82 and $102 respectively. I pay 64% of my SS and Pension income for rent which leave very little for anything beyond telephone, internet and food, never mind doctors and meds. I believe the rich are so above everything that they cannot comprehend the plight of any one on a fixed income. I can use my mobile which I pay $6.18/month however internet is not included. We need a Senior Internet Program to remain in the technology age. Please help!!

Wesley Thompson says
I didn’t see anything about the cost or speed for the senior plans. Is this something that is in place now or is it just something that you are attempting to start up? I have internet now but it is starting to be cost prohibitive for me. I am curiously interested in your plan, just need more information.

I am 63 years young and I live at Restore Permanent Housing in Orlando, Florida. 32805. The only company that provides service there is BrightHouse networks, I was quoted my monthly payment would be 103.00 I cannot afford that and would love to bge able to have internet.My disability check is $753.00 after rent buying nessecities I am broke. I am not alone in this there are many other people who are seniors and others who are disabled it would seem like there should be other choices for free internet, all there is is Brigh tHouse Networks. They are expensive, especially for those of us in this situation. Is there anyway this area can have more choices? Do you know how frustrating this is? I do hope something can and will be done to help all of us. The name of the complex is ******* Apartments. ********** Drive Orlando, Florida and the other address is ****** Arlington Street Orlando, Florida. Whatever you can do to assist us we all appreciate it, and you too!!!

Please give low in come seniors low priced Internet services as family’s with a child in school ,for $9.95. There are so many resources and phone numbers and businesses and Doctor Office said we can only find through the internet. Most doctors have their information and our health records on file through the internet. Many of our health services would like us to go paperless and sign up. I live on $900 a month Social Security disability and supplemental social security. My rent is $455 a month. I do have a cell phone that I have internet on but I cannot do paperwork I cannot do a lot of things on it and it’s really small to see what I’m doing on a telephone. Currently I’m struggling to keep up the payment on my cell phone. I’m considering going to lifeline phone but I wouldn’t have access to the Internet. There are so many things that we have no access to because we have no internet. I would love to have netflix on my television because I can’t afford cable or satellite. Please consider starting services that for seniors to be included in the same program that families with school age children are eligible for thank you very much.

My husband and I are retired and are living on a low income. As seniors we need Internet . We live in a rural area. Which is hard to get any internet. We get internet now wifi but can not afford the 50.00 a month plus some times higher. It is hard to pay all our bills. Can you help us to get free or low pay Internet. I was looking for unlimited Internet then I would not have to keep checking to see if I am over the 5 gb. Sometimes we rent a show on tv. But found out we end up paying for Internet and the show which last time cost us over 40.00 for just renting one show with our Internet. Please help us.

Marysue Hall says
Why won’t Comcast add seniors without children who have incomes that cannot allow them to get internet access to the qualifications for Internet Essentials in Virginia? What is the problem? Wouldn’t you like to make more money by opening the restrictions and accepting seniors without children who have incomes that cannot allow them to get internet access anywhere else? This is a very real, serious problem in Virginia.

Jeanne Wimbley says
I simply cannot afford NEW $49.99 monthly internet service and must give it up before 6 Nov 2015. My rate jumped from 22.00 per month to $49.95 due to WRONGFUL termination of my accounts which caused me to switch to Verizon and “loss” of having phone PLUS internet services at previously rebated prices for dual att services. Thus, I will nave NO internet services at all on 6 Nov 2015.
If one CANNOT Afford it, Only ONE option exists, LIVE without it.
Dale White says
Its nice to hear low-income seniors may be getting a break on the cost of the service for internet access. I thought it was rather short sighted or perhaps deliberate, that there were eligibility requirements restricting affordable or free internet to those with children in need with respect to their education. I agree, children in a low income household most certainly need, and deserve access to thee internet. These children are already fighting an uphill battle when trying to access the resources of their peers, who already have unencumbered access to the necessary resources. The same resources necessary for success in an ever increasing competitive learning environment. However, once again I’ve been left to try and understand why the disabled are once again left out of the thought process. Unfortunately, it’s nothing new. All too often, the disabled are overlooked, whether it be employment, financial or housing assistance, or any number of resources they may be in need of. I would just like to attempt to open the eyes of those entities involved with making internet access available to those of us that may not be able to afford it. I commend the efforts of those working to make the internet available to those of us struggling to stay up to speed with the ever changing world we live in. It is extremely difficult to keep up with technology for anyone, let alone those of us who may not be able to afford it. So please, try not to leave any of us behind while you attempt to level the playing field. I readily admit, I can do without another exercise in why the disabled weren’t considered initially. I appreciate your consideration.
Thank you, Tired and sore.

My parents are low income seniors. They pay around $45/month for AT&T service, because they consider it a necessity. At times family and friends helped them out with this cost. Having a similar service for $10 or so a month would be a welcome savings for them.

I need to find Social Services programs for help. But, honestly, I am not sure where to begin. Having access to the internet would be a HUGE help! But I seem to slip between the cracks at every turn.
Please help!! If you know of an internet service that provides low income or free internet in Phoenix, Arizona, please share this information with me.

I commend you for offering internet essentials to low income families with small children in need. Now I understand you have a pilot program for low income seniors in Florida and Palm Beach…..seriously? These are the most influential areas you could find. while us low income families and seniors in rural areas are paying top price for the privilege of using your internet and other services. I personally have your Internet, Television and computer package and I am paying $167.00 a month and that is a big chunk of my monthly income. I am living in government housing because I am very low income! Low income seniors are your big users as this is our life….internet and TV! Give us a break, we are loyal and pay our bills on time, all the time! Come to California and help us out!

Can there be hi-speed free or cheap internet for disabled (low-income) without children? There is, as of today, 8/29/15 no cable or phone company offering any type of internet service except dial-up. Very slow and limited. No cell phone access. Very limited over the air free TV. Before the digital age I did not feel remote, now I feel very much cut off and wanting. Too poor to remedy myself. Hence, the search for better. I appreciate the information and hope to find some answers. I live in the foothills east of the town of Oroville in N. California.
