Mediacom Communications says that it now has more than 25,000 customers participating in a new federal program that enables low-income households to receive discounted or free broadband service.

 

That includes more than 700 people in Northwest Florida where Mediacom delivers high-speed internet.

 

The Affordable Connectivity Program provides a monthly credit of $30 which can be applied to any residential service Mediacom offers. 

 

Mediacom provides 100 Mbps download speeds to low-income Americans for just $30 per month which means eligible customers can receive their broadband service from Mediacom for free. 

 

The Federal Communications Commission awards the monthly credit to families with income at 200% of the federal poverty guideline or lower, and to those who qualify for other forms of government assistance.

 

The benefit is available to both new and existing Mediacom customers who qualify. 

 

Households interested in participating in the Affordable Connectivity Program must confirm eligibility to enroll in the program.
