○ USING WICKED FREE WI-FI: How It Works

Comcast Free Wifi for Low-Income Families:

○ Due to COVID-19, Comcast is taking immediate steps to help connect more low-income families to the Internet at home. Effective Monday, March 16, 2020, anyone who signs up for Internet Essentials will receive two free months of Internet service. There is no term contract or credit check and no shipping fee for equipment. See qualifications and apply here: https://apply.internetessentials.com/

Cell Phones:

○ All major carriers will have unlimited high speed data for the next two months as part of the "Keep America Connected" pledge. Even more important, most cell phone and home internet companies have pledged NOT to disconnect service for unpaid bills for the next two months. This means that our students will not lose their internet if a family is unable to pay the bill during this time.
