Suddenlink Low-Income Internet: Low-cost, high-speed internet for residents of 16 states

$50/MONTH DISCOUNT ON ALL INTERNET: For a limited time only, EVERY internet service provider is now offering government-mandated discounts of up to $50 per month towards broadband service plus one-time discounts of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers. Enroll now to get these great benefits.

If you are a senior citizen who qualifies for SSI (Supplemental Security Income) or if a child in your home qualifies for the National School Lunch Program, you may be eligible for very affordable broadband service.

Now that Altice, the French communications conglomerate, has taken over Suddenlink, the company is introducing Economy Internet, a new low-income internet plan in all 16 of the states it serves. Economy Internet costs a bit more than Suddenlink’s former $9.95 per month plan, but it also gives you more. Here is what you get:

  • $14.95 per month (with no annual contract)
  • Broadband speeds of up to 30 Mbps downstream
  • In-home wi-fi at no extra cost
  • A free modem
  • No data caps

Suddenlink also participates in EveryoneOn.org’s flagship program that provides affordable desktop, laptop, and tablet devices to students and families that qualify for the National School Lunch Program or SSI. (More about that later in this article.)

Are you eligible? Here’s how to qualify.

Do you qualify for Suddenlink’s high-speed, low-income plan? There are two very simple ways to qualify, and a three quirky ways you can be disqualified. We’ll explain both sides of the qualification equation.

The first way to qualify: If any child in your household is eligible for the National School Lunch Program and if you live in an area served by Suddenlink, you may be able to sign up for high-speed broadband internet service in your home for just $14.95 per month.

The second way to qualify: If you are a senior citizen who qualifies for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you are eligible for high-speed broadband service for just $14.95 per month.

Please note that the eligibility requirements say at least one child in your household must be eligible for the National School Lunch Program, not that they must currently participate in it. In other words, don’t be scared off if your child doesn’t participate. You may still be eligible.

3 quirky ways you could be ineligible for $14.95 per month high-speed internet

Like we said, there are three quirky things that could make you ineligible for Suddenlink’s $14.95 per month Economy Internet program. Make sure you understand what they are.

Quirk #1: No children in your home? Sorry, but you’re not eligible. No children in your home who qualify for the National School Lunch Program? Sorry, you’re not eligible, either. No senior citizens in your home who qualifies for SSI? You’re also out of luck as far as Economy Internet is concerned.

Quirk #2: If you’ve had Suddenlink service within the last 90 days, you’re not eligible for Economy Internet. If you’re a current Suddenlink customer, you can become eligible by canceling your service and then waiting until 90 days is up. If you’re a former customer who canceled service within the last 90 days, you, too, need to wait until your service has been inactive for a full 90 days before reapplying.

Quirk #3: You are not eligible for this special low-priced program if you have any outstanding Suddenlink bills or any unreturned Suddenlink equipment. The only solution is to pay off the balance on your overdue account or take back any Suddenlink equipment you failed to return. Solve those problems and you’ll immediately become eligible.

Suddenlink will put you on their $14.95 per month high-speed internet plan for up to two years. And you’ll continue to receive this special price as long as at least one child in your home is eligible for the National School Lunch Program. Or as long as your a senior citizen who qualifies for SSI.

Is that cool or what?

How to Apply for Suddenlink’s Economy Internet Plan

Suddenlink profile

There seems to be a little confusion regarding Suddenlink’s size and rank in the telecommunications world.

For example, Wikipedia says, “Suddenlink Communications, formerly Cebridge Connections, is the 9th largest provider of cable broadband services (based on coverage area) in the United States with coverage available to approximately 5.7 million subscribers.”

But the company’s website days, “Suddenlink is the seventh largest cable broadband company in the United States, supporting the information, communication and entertainment demands of approximately 1.4 million residential customers and thousands of commercial customers in Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, West Virginia, and elsewhere. Suddenlink simplifies its customers’ lives through one call for support, one connection, and one bill for TV, Internet, phone, and other services.”

No matter whether the company is the 7th largest or 9th largest is really immaterial to the many millions of Americans who desperately need low-cost, high-speed internet service. To anyone living in the company’s service area, Suddenlink is number one.

But let’s clear up what the meaning of “elsewhere” in Suddenlink’s description of itself. Suddenlink now offers cable television and high-speed internet in 16 states — Arkansas, Arizona, California, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.

    Does anyone know if Suddenlink raises their $14.99 a month rates after a “trial period” is up? They do this with regular plans and I don’t want my mother to suffer when her bill skyrockets out of the blue? Suddenlink’s website is vague about this information.

      Here’s what it says on the SuddenLink website:

      “ Free 60-day Altice Advantage Internet is available for new residential Internet customers who do not have Optimum Internet services and share a household with a student (K-12) or a college student, OR are an active certified/licensed teacher, professor, faculty, instructor or staff member of a U.S. K-12 school, college or university. Former Optimum accounts previously not in good standing are not eligible. Terms, conditions and restrictions apply. Where available. At end of 60-day period, service will be billed at $14.99 per month until canceled.”

    Looking for free to very low cost internet in the Miami, Oklahoma 74354 area. I’ve clicked on a few of these links but can only find plans that still will cost in-between $50-79 dollars, I can’t afford that monthly. I mean, if thats a one time set up fee then I might be able to manage it ONCE and then pay free-$20ish bucks a month after that.. could you possibly help me find something more feasible in my area please? I do have 2 children on free reduced lunches, I am on social security disability, we have SNAP and TANF, and Soonercare. Just letting you know if it helps answer what id qualify for. Any assistance would be appreciated THANK YOU!

    Just curious as to why I’m not able to transfer over to the Sudden link Economy Internet Plan. Due to COVID-19, times are really difficult. I’ve only had service with Suddenlink since February 2020 and at that time the Economy Internet Plan was NOT available in my area. Now that it IS, I’m being told I would have to be without Suddenlink services for 90 days or more before I can get on the Economy Internet Plan with them, even though I am otherwise eligible. Seems like in these times this 90 day waiting period should be waived???

    I live in San Antonio, Texas and it ‘s a lie that they provide service at my address. Maybe in the rich side of town, perhaps…
    In fact, none of the low income programs are available at my address, with the exception of Spectrum and AT&T, and I only qualify for Spectrum, who by the way, just raised their price to almost $20.00 a month.
    This is a more or less big town, and I can’t believe that NOBODY is willing to service my town or side of town with low income internet.
    Not Cox, Grande, Comcast, Mediacom, or anybody else. Grande services 97% of the people in San Antonio, so I must be in the 3 % that they don’t. I live less than 2 miles from the downtown area!
    I guess my area is just not that important to them!

      August 15, 2020 at 9:29 am

      I know your pain. Suddenlink sucks customer service-wise. I once was on hold for LITERALLY MORE THAN 24 HOURS. Like, I fell asleep at night and in the morning when I got up, I was still on hold. I truly believe that they don’t even have ANY real customer service department. I think it’s just an illusion.

      BUT a shitty company like Suddenlink DOES care about making money, right? I realized that if you REALLY wanna talk to someone at Suddenlink, you call the number to set up new service as if you were a new customer and not an existing one. They will immediately answer, since answering means (or so they think) gaining a new customer (woohoo! more money! another customer to scam!). Tell them your problem and they will help you, finally getting to talk to a real person. Works every time. They never answer calls to the customer service line (well, maybe they do, but I wouldn’t know… I gave up after 24 HOURS ON hold.)

    Why is Rison,Arkansas not on the list . This county really needs cheap internet, all the big cities and no small cities are really the ones that need the cheaper internet rates were all low in come lots of senior citizens lots of families on snap and Medicaid,lots of disabled people. So I am just asking why does the people in smaller cities not on the list when they are really the people that need it most . Signed just a disabled low in come Medicaid person concerned for our small home town city.

      We can tell you why smaller towns and rural areas are overlooked, Brinda. The cost of running cable Or building wireless infrastructure to those areas with few people makes it very difficult for the cable companies to make a profit. That doesn’t give you an answer you want, but it’s the reality of the situation.

      That being said, we urge you to take a look at ALL the low-income internet plans to see if you can find one that serves your area. Good luck. Here’s where you can find those plans:

      It’s nothing new, Kay, but most of the low-income service providers don’t really want to sell their low-priced plans. The only low-income plan we’ve ever seen advertised is Comcast’s Internet Essentials. There may be others advertised, but we’ve never seen them.

    I don’t think that is fair at all for ssi long time customers to have to cut their service off for 90 days in order to apply for this discount program. We can’t do without internet & TV, It has become a way of life to help seniors pay bills, order med’s & shop. I myself have been a customer since it was Cox Communications. If we change to another Service Provider, we may not be able to drop it without being charged a fee. And how long is this offer going to stay in force? We need some type of guarantee & better cooperation from this huge company. We have paid our dues with our money & loyality. Our service is thru suddenlink.net not suddenlink.com . Does that make a difference. And is does Suddenlink even get out reviews & complaints???

    They say you have to Qualify for SSI, what bout SSDI, or even on Social Security. Some people get less SS then people on SSI. They are going to have a real problem with this. They better regroup their system for qualifying or they will have a real mess, with people who are poorer than the people they are giving service to.. Everybody who is on SSI gets 743.00 from the government. Each state also helps by adding a amount to that. Each state is different on the amount that they add. some may not add any. Where I live the state ads 48.00 making a total of 791.00 per month. I get 825.00 SSDI per month for I am blind & will never work again @ 60 yrs old, where SSI people are a a 5 yr,, o back to work type program, otherwise they are automatically required to follow their steps to switch. Then when they reach 62, they have to o on their SSI. Basically SSDI is for the people that can’t get SSDI for their disability was rejected by the SS admin.. No matter what both are switched to SS @ age 62. So Altice is going about their discount program completely wrong, it will never work. Or is that their real intention??

    I’m on section 8 housing. I’ve been on for over 10 years. My monthly income is $760.00 per month, Way below poverty level! At the moment I am with MediaCom and my bill runs $123-$130.00 per month. I have ask them if they could help me in lowering my bill but they ” Very Rudely said that I had to finish out my contract, which I believe ends in October of this year. My total monthly bills are Rent, Phone, Car Insurance “Bare Minimum” Electricity, Water & Garbage which comes between $455.00 – $526.00 pet Month Leaving me approximately $245.00- $260.00 left each month, subtract my perception cost of $43.00- $50.00 leaves around $200.00- $210.00 per month for gas, groceries, toiletries, cleaning supplies etc. Which I never have enough for all of that or even half of what I need. My clothes are coming apart at the seems, I’ve glued my shoes back together 3 times in the past 2 1/2 years. The only pleasure/ entertainment I have is my
    TV / Internet. I see so many ads for free cable and internet for low income people all it does is take me to websites trying to sell me things. My credit is horrible, and one thing I made a mistake of doing is turniThr cable on for my nephew in my name with Cox Cable and he left a bill which is now on my credit report and he keeps saying he will pay it but never has.
    Please help me in finding something for a more reasonable price.
    The irony of it all is that my brother died in 2012 and my sister and I are the only heirs and all of his money is in her bank and she refuses to give me my half, I have tried to find pro bono lawyers legal aid law clinics and I just keep getting the runaround and sent to another person Louisiana says Florida has to refer me Florida says I have to go through Louisiana because that’s where he lived. I don’t understand why they say low income people can get help with legal matters cable TV utilities and even cars etc.. then when you try to apply for these all you get is advertisements and so much red tape that most people just give up trying! After 5 years of letters, emails , applications and explaining everything to every person I talk to I feel that there is no hope of my getting what’s rightfully mine from my Brother’s estate and just because I don’t have the money to fight for it and the emotional pain is undescribable, And senseless. There are people worse off than me that I am sure have committed suicide because of this sort of thing, I will stop venting now, I thank you for anything you can do to help me!! I have already gone into a depression over this and it seems that it just keeps getting worse! Don’t know where to turn next?

      As you have discovered, there are no free cable or internet plans. However, there are a number of low-income plans available and we’re confident that you’ll find one or more that work for you. Here’s where you can find them:

      Next, take a look at an article we just posted a few days ago. Amazon is now offering a great deal on a streaming TV package. If you can combine it with one of the internet plans mentioned above, you’d have internet and TV. Here’s a link to that article:

    This is truly an awesome program the thing is I cant understand why in Arkansas every city seems to have access except mine which is Newark is there a way you could change this?? There are alot of kids that are in low-income families that could really benefit from having easy access to the internet. Aside from this program I think if our town had suddenlink as a choice for cable and internet providers, I would be willing to bet suddenlink would grow in new customers. Thank you..

      Are you sure it’s not available in Newark? Give them a call to confirm. If you find out that the service isn’t available, check all the other low-income plans on the list at this link:

      Sorry, PJ, but disability alone will not qualify you for any of the low-income programs. However, there are a couple options that might work IF they are available in your area. Check out PCs for People and 4GCommunity at this link:

    Seeing as I make less than 20k a year and have custody of my nephew who is on the lunch program and still have to pay $116 a month this program seems kinda dirty. So because I have paid my bill on time every month (struggled but paid) I would have to turn off my service for 3 months to qualify, that’s some bs.

      Yeah, Amanda, we think that’s a huge flaw in the system. However, depending on where you live, you may have some options. Check out the other plans at the following link. Pay particular attention to PCs for People and 4GCommunity. The former has higher income limits and the latter has no income limits. We just hope you live in a place where they are available:

      We’d suggest that you take a look at two different plans, Andy. With a little luck they will be available where you live (none of the plans are available everywhere). Look up PCs for People and 4GCommunity at this link:

    I have called Suddenlink and ask about the low-income program. They said ” Oh I am not aware of any such program, you probably have to go to our local office” I went to the local office in Conroe address 903 N. Loop 336 W I. They said ” We don’t have any offers like that here” the lady was rude and not helpful at all. I went on line (connect2compete) and it’s asking me for a suddenlink code? I need to know if Suddenlink is a provider or not because they do not know as well. If they are not then this is false advertisement and this website needs to be updated. It is very furstrating when trying to get something done and the company employees are not aware of what is going on.

    Please help !

      It never ceases to surprise us when we hear comments like this. We really wonder if the staff has been poorly trained or if they’re intentionally ignorant. We’d recommend that you ask for a supervisor the next time you call customer service or visit a store. The treatment you received is just plain unacceptable.

I live on a fixed income. its just me and one other person living here. can u help me find something that I don’t have to pay an outrageous connect fee or any at all?

      There are numerous low-income internet plans available in addition to the Suddenlink plan, Eva. You should check them all out to find the ones available in your area for which you qualify. You may just find that you have multiple options and one may offer you better/more service than the others. Please check them all out before you make any decisions.

      We are an independent website and not affiliated with Suddenlink. However, we can tell you that most of the major programs say you must not have had an account for 90 days. What you might try to do is apply for an Internet account with a different company. Here’s a great program that might work:

    From your post( $30,000 per year have no home internet access. Since so much of the world is only available online, that is obviously a major issue for everyone who lives in those homes. Unemployment is a persistent issue in those households and the lack of internet service means adults find it almost impossible to communicate with potential employers. Similarly, lack of internet access makes it difficult to communicate with doctors. ) any help you can provide would greatly be appreciated .
