Comcast has announced it’s extending its offer of free internet service to low income residents for the rest of the year. When the COVID-19 pandemic first reached the United States, Comcast started to offer its Internet Essentials plan for free for 60 days. That was later extended, and now it’s been extended again through the end of 2020. Internet Essentials is normally $9.95 per month for those with low incomes, and will now be complimentary for those who qualify. In addition, Comcast will continue to waive, through the end of the year, the requirement that customers not have a past due balance with Comcast to get the free offer. The company says with internet now critical to everyone, especially students, it’s making the offer to help during the pandemic.
