<\/p>\nStudents are heading back to school and reliable internet access is more important than ever. Digital connection is necessary for online learning, enabling connection and collaboration for kids and parents alike. With Comcast Internet Essentials, it\u2019s easy to have the access needed for school, work or staying in touch with friends and family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Internet Essentials provides affordable, high-speed internet access to eligible households at $14.95 each month. This low-cost option, with speeds up to 75 Mbps, is designed for everyday use that includes online meetings, video calling, digital workshops and more. For those who need higher speeds, Internet Essentials Plus offers up to 100 Mbps for $29.95 per month. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis program has connected more than 234,000 Utahns to a fast, reliable internet connection,\u201d said Deneiva Knight, External Affairs Director, Comcast Mountain West Region. \u201cIn addition to affordable internet and devices, Internet Essentials customers also gain access to free digital skills training and access to millions of free Xfinity WiFi hotspots across the country, including more than 356,000 in Utah.\u201d<\/p>\n
Internet Essentials customers can also purchase a low-cost Dell laptop or Chromebook for $149.99, plus tax. Each device has the hardware and software needed to get online right away, which makes it ideal for students, remote workers, or anyone needing a dependable device at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor more than a decade, Comcast has stepped up to ensure everyone can stay connected to what matters most,\u201d Knight said. \u201cWe believe everyone should be able to connect to the power of home internet. Whether in rural communities or urban centers, we are working to make the internet accessible to all.\u201d<\/p>\n
