Fast. Reliable. Affordable.

We believe everyone should be able to connect to the power of home internet.

Internet Essentials is the nation's largest and most successful private-sector broadband adoption program. Since its inception in 2011, it has connected a cumulative total of more than 10 million low-income Americans to the power of the Internet at home. In addition, Internet Essentials has either sold at a subsidized price of $150 or given away more than 200,000 laptops. Plus, Internet Essentials offers free access to hundreds of hours of digital skills training and is backed by Project UP, Comcast's $1 billion commitment to advance digital equity and build a future of unlimited possibilities.
