As the federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) ends this month, Comcast has been working hard to communicate to its customers their robust choices at affordable prices to stay connected.<\/a><\/p>\n

For over a decade, Comcast has offered Internet Essentials,<\/a> which will continue to be available to lower-income customers at $9.95\/month (for 50 Mbps) and Internet Essentials Plus at $29.95\/month (for 100 Mbps). All current ACP customers are eligible to switch to Internet Essentials during this transition.<\/p>\n

Internet Essentials has connected more than 11,000 households in Kent to high-speed Internet at home, many for the first time. New Internet Essentials Plus customers can get a free line of unlimited Xfinity Mobile<\/a> for one year and save hundreds of dollars.<\/p>\n

With Comcast’s NOW product line<\/a> announced last month, the company offers everyday<\/em><\/strong> pricing without contracts<\/em><\/strong>, just $30\/month (for 100 Mbps) and easily combined with NOW Mobile for as low as $55\/month. The company also offers competitive promotional pricing<\/a> as low as $30-35\/month (for 300 Mbps), and a WiFi Pass for $20\/month with unlimited access to the nation’s largest network of WiFi hotspots.<\/p>\n

Further, Comcast continues to provide free Internet access in nearly 100 Lift Zones<\/a> in Washington to keep communities connected.<\/p>\n

Comcast has formed a Digital Equity Network in the Pacific Northwest that is comprised of a group of organizations that work collectively to bridge the digital divide and open doors to economic mobility.<\/p>\n

Some of the non-profit organizations that are receiving funds from Comcast this year as part of the digital equity network include Adelante Mujeres, Asian Counseling & Referral Service, Easterseals, El Centro de la Raza, Goodwill, YWCA, Boys & Girls Clubs, and Dress for Success.<\/p>\n

Comcast is committed to building on the momentum that is creating unlimited possibilities for millions of customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
