Comcast has released a new program available to low income families that would give them high speed internet access for just under $10 a month. This program was created because the FCC required that Comcast make broadband available to 400,000 poor households for less than $10 per month, otherwise Comcast wouldn’t have been allowed to acquire NBC earlier this year. Families can get broadband for $9.95 and a netbook-like computer for $149.99 if they meet the following criteria. ?Must live in one of the 39 states that Comcast currently serves. (Note to self--may need to move) ?Must have at least one child enrolled in a free lunch program through the National School Lunch Program. (2nd note to self--need to get one kid on free lunch program) ?Must not have been subscribed to Comcast Internet service in the last 90 days. ?Can’t have overdue Comcast bills or unreturned equipment. The broadband speed offered is up to 1.5Mbps down and 384Kbps up. This package which is called Internet Essentials will be available at the start of this school year and will run for three full school years. Anyone who signs up will not see a price increase during this time and they also will not have to pay for activation or installation. If you are interested in getting this internet package you can call Comcast
