Spectrum Internet Assist Offers Low-Cost, High-Speed Internet for Qualified Households
Arlington residents may be eligible for low-cost, high-speed internet through Charter's new Spectrum Internet Assist (SIA) program.
Charter is offering the fastest internet speeds (30/4 Mbps) at a $14.99 per month rate for qualified customers in an effort to make broadband more affordable for low-income families and seniors.
A recent Federal Communication Commission report on broadband access found that 34 million Americans lack access to high-speed broadband in the home. About 5 million families with school-aged children in the United States don't have access in the home, according to the Pew Research Center.
To qualify, a member of the household must be a recipient of one of the following programs: National School Lunch Program (NSLP) free or reduced lunch, Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) of the NSLP, or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) age 65 and older only.
