The company is now offering free access to all of its WiFi hotspots for everyone, not just their customers. For current customers, Comcast will pause its data plan so that customers have unlimited data to facilitate “working and educating from home,” the company said in a press release. For several years, Comcast has offered a program called Internet Essentials, which provides broadband to eligible low income customers for $9.95 a month. And, because of the Corona Virus, it is now offering the service free to new low income customers for 60 days, after which they will pay the regular $9.95 a month if they keep the service. Starting on Monday, Charter will also offer free Spectrum internet service, up to 100 MBPS to low-income customers for 60 days.
