Comcast Speeds-up and Expands Low-Income Internet Service Offer after Criticisms

The latest upgrade doubles the current speed to up to 10 megabits per second. That lets you watch online video but is still below the benchmark for broadband, 25 megabits, set by the Federal Communications Commission. Internet Essentials had been limited to families of children who would qualify for the government’s discounted school lunch program. Now Comcast is testing a program for low-income seniors, too.
