Affordable Internet Offers

Having an affordable home Internet connection is critical to stay informed and in contact with friends and family during
the COVID-19 emergency. Several Internet Service Providers offer low-cost, affordable Home Internet for qualifying low-income households. For the most up-to-date information, we recommend visiting EveryoneOn.org/s2h.

Help Your Students and Parents Stay Connected to School during Health Emergency

For a limited time, AT&T, Charter/Spectrum and Comcast are offering free Home Internet for new subscribers and offers carry conditions. (Households with students in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) must tell the Spectrum representative on the initial call that they want the free 60-day offer applied to Spectrum Internet Assist. Failing to do so will trigger the need to pay the full rate of $55 a month when the free period ends.) Neither Spectrum or Comcast allows existing customers to downgrade their services.
Several companies, including AT&T, Charter/Spectrum, Comcast, Cox, Frontier, T-Mobile, and other ISPs pledge for the next 60 days to not terminate service and they will waive late fees for any residential or small business customers because of their inability to pay their bills due to the coronavirus pandemic.

We have a toolkit here with sample communications that you can distribute to district staff, school staff and parents to get them essential information about affordable home Internet service and low-cost devices.

The downloadable fliers below, in English and Spanish, are designed to distribute to your students, parents and school community to inform them of discount services for which they may qualify. Some services may be free up to 60 days for new subscribers. The free offers require that a K-12 or college student be a member of the household. For the most up-to-date information, we recommend visiting EveryoneOn.org/cetf.

If you have questions or you would like us to customize the fliers and EveryoneOn.org information for your school district, contact Nadine.Hugg@cetfund.org. Please let us know if your district is distributing this information. This will help us track the impact of affordable Internet programs and demonstrate their importance. Thank you for helping us close the Digital Divide.
