Closing the Digital Divide
Even with world-class broadband infrastructure deployed throughout New England, too many families still face hurdles adopting broadband service. Private broadband providers have invested over two billion dollars across the U.S. in programs to help families and individuals facing financial barriers get connected to the high-speed internet service available at their home.
Modernize Safety Net: Deliver subsidies to low-income families to help pay the monthly cost of broadband service while providing support for devices, in-home equipment and digital literacy training.
NECTA members offer low-cost internet service, computer equipment, digital literacy training, and technology centers across the country to increase broadband adoption for individuals and families who need it most. These programs include:
• Breezeline Internet Assist Plus
• Comcast Internet Essentials
• Cox Connect2Compete
• Spectrum Internet Assist
