Internet Essentials: Another twist on low-cost broadband service for low-income Americans

Comcast, the cable TV giant, is the biggest name in the low-cost internet business with a program called Internet Essentials. If you live in areas of the country served by Comcast and you qualify, you can now get Internet Essentials for just $9.95 per month instead of the $40–60 (after teaser promotions) the company charges for its lowest cost basic plan. As of August 2019, more than four million low-income Americans now are online thanks to the wonderful program.

Consider this important statistic: Only 45% of families earning under $30,000 currently have broadband service in their homes. This puts those parents and their children at a huge disadvantage when it comes to finding and applying for jobs, communicating with doctors, completing homework and other everyday tasks that more affluent families take for granted.

Internet Essentials costs just $9.95 a month and delivers a blazing fast 15 Mbps download speed. Qualifying families will even be able to purchase a computer for only $149.99. There is required. No credit check. No installation fees. No activation fees. And, believe it or not, there are no additional equipment fees, and your internet now comes with a wireless router.

You also get the world famous Norton Security Suite which gives you professional online security. It’s a $160 value, but you get it absolutely free.

And finally, Internet Essentials gives you free parental control features to help protect your kids whether they’re doing their schoolwork or just playing on the internet.

How to qualify for Internet Essentials

Let’s give Comcast some credit here — the company has consistently opened Internet Essentials to more and more low-income Americans.

Eligibility for the program was once restricted to people with at least one child who qualified for the National School Lunch Program, but that restriction is now a thing of the past and millions more are now eligible including:

  • People with disabilities
  • Seniors on Medicaid
  • All low-income adults (defined as 38% above the poverty line in your area)

If math is not your strong suit and you don’t know which side of the 38% you fall on, you can also qualify if you participate in any of these Federal assistance programs:

  • The National School Lunch Program (free and reduced-price school lunch)
  • Medicaid
  • Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP/food stamps)
  • HUD housing assistance and Section 8
  • Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (welfare)
  • Supplemental Security Income (Social Security)
  • Head Start or Early Head Start
  • Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
  • Tribal assistance (including TTANF, FDPIR, etc)
  • WIC (Women, Infants, and Children)
  • VA pension (Yea, vets!)

A couple restrictions

Comcast has proven itself to be pretty generous with the Internet Essentials program, but there are three reasons the company might deny service to those who are otherwise eligible:

  1. You cannot have been a Comcast internet subscriber in the last 90 days. If you want to get Internet Essentials, you are going to need to cancel (if you contract allows) your service and call Internet Essentials to sign up after three months.
  2. You cannot have a Comcast bills that is over 12 months past due. However, if you have an overdue bill from just within the last 12 months, Comcast has recently changed the rules and will accept you as an Internet
    Essentials customer, provided you agree to the payment plan they work up to pay off the late bills.
    You cannot have any unreturned equipment.
  3. Of course, you have to be in an area served by Comcast, but you’ve got a good chance, since Internet Essentials is available in more than 4,000 school districts in 39 states plus the District of Columbia.

Once enrolled, a customer will be able to continue receiving Internet Essentials service at the same low price as long as at least one child in their household continues to qualify for a reduced or free lunch under the National School Lunch Program.

Internet Essentials originated when Comcast acquired NBC. In order to win FCC approval, Comcast agreed to “increase broadband deployment in low income households” for three years. In 2014 they said they would like to run the program “indefinitely.”

Let’s hope they keep to that plan.

    Comcast/X-finity Do you have low-cost internet for homeless college students available. Something similar to Wi-Fi on the go or hot-spot box? It would be a great help to students who don’t have a home to be able to have internet to plug into on the go. It would also help to offer something for the disadvantage youth who do not have internet and wish to attend college via internet classes. Just an Idea.

      Our article clearly states that owing back payments to Comcast will disqualify you from the program. Perhaps you didn’t read it before you enrolled. Your next move is probably to see if any of the other low-income internet plans are available where you live. You can review them all to find the one that fits your needs best at this link:

      It’s all how you look at life, isn’t it? I explained to my Mother now that she is a senior citizen on very low income after paying taxes her whole life, and having a father, brothers, husband, and son who all did their duty to their country and served in every branch of the military, it’s more than ok for her to get her internet for $9.95 when I have to pay $60.00 for my college aged son to complete his school work. It’s more than OK. When life throws you a tough moment, I hope you’re not kicking people who are trying to help you. If you never need help or feel a need to help others, you’re doing something wrong. That’s the whole point of being here in the first place.
