Low-cost Internet service is available for families that get free school lunches

Comcast has launched a $9.95 a month broadband service (plus taxes) called Internet Essentials for families with a child who gets free school lunches (if your lunches are partially subsidized you CAN NOT qualify).  Here is the PC World description of the program.

Comcast promises no price increases (i.e. this is NOT a six month teaser.)  The FAQ promises that new enrollees will be allowed for three years.

If you are interested you can call 1-855-8-INTERNET  (1-855-846-8376 ) to request an application.
