Also, did you know all veterans can get a $30 credit on their internet and mobile bills every month? This is not exclusive to Comcast. It’s the Affordable Connectivity Program that helps ensure that households can afford the broadband they need for work, school, healthcare and more.

The benefit provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households, and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if they contribute more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price.

The Affordable Connectivity Program is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household. Adults and kids on federal assistance programs, veterans and college students with Pell Grants qualify.
