The Garrett County Board of Education recently met (Tuesday, Oct. 11) with a representative of Comcast to discuss that company’s Internet Essentials program.
The initiative seeks to provide students of households without web access with an Internet connection.
Through the program, Comcast is offering an Internet connection for $9.95 per month with free equipment and no installation fees. Comcast will also offer free Internet training for students and their families. The system is stand-alone and there is no need to purchase cable, telephone, or any other services offered by Comcast.
Students who qualify for free lunch also qualify for the Internet Essentials program. However, eligible households must be within the Comcast “footprint,” or locations where the company has installed its cable systems. Those who utilize the program may not have been Comcast customers within 90 days of installation.
