Internet Essentials (SM) from Comcast
Now families with students receiving reduced price school lunches are eligible. Plus – Internet speed is 2x faster.
We've expanded eligibility and doubled download speed to benefit more families.

Without partners like you, Internet Essentials would not be the great success it is. In 2011, we helped over 41,000 families get online at home through the program.

Now, in 2012, we're making it even easier for more families to get online. We've expanded eligibility to include qualified families with students who receive free or reduced price school lunches through the National School Lunch Program. We've also doubled download speed to enhance the Internet experience for families. Together, we can continue to make a difference and help even more families get online.

Closing the gap.

Let's keep making big strides to close the digital divide. Help us get the word out about expanded eligibility so many more students and families can gain all the advantages of home broadband service.

It's easy to spread the news.

You are key to the success of the program, and we are here to support you. You'll find all the information, materials and updates you need to keep the momentum going on the online partner portal.
