Comcast partnered with Weinberg Place to hold an Internet Essentials enrollment event on Wednesday, September 19, 2018, where the company offered eligible residents the opportunity to sign up for its Internet Essentials program.
The program provides low-cost, high-speed Internet service for $9.95 a month plus tax; the option to purchase an Internet-ready computer for under $150; and multiple options to access free digital literacy training in print, online and in person.
As part of Comcast’s commitment to bridge the digital divide, the company announced last month it has now connected more than six million low-income Americans to the Internet through the program.
Since 2011, Comcast has invested more than half a billion dollars to support digital literacy training and awareness, reaching more than 8.5 million low-income Americans.
