Inkster residents can now learn more about enrolling in the new Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) to get Internet service for free. Any Xfinity customer across all Comcast markets who qualifies for ACP can apply their $30 credit toward their monthly Internet and/or Xfinity Mobile bill. Customers can also sign up for Internet Essentials Plus, a service that includes 100 Mbps speed, a cable modem, access to millions of WiFi hotspots, and unlimited data for $29.95 per month. The Inkster Verizon store offering the enrollment help is located at 27195 Cherry Hill Road.
In addition, through Project UP, Comcast's $1B commitment to advance digital equity and help build a future of unlimited possibilities, the company is partnering with its network of thousands of non-profit organizations in communities across the country to increase awareness of, and participation in, ACP.
During the last six months, Comcast has distributed well over $1 million dollars in grants to support dozens of local non-profits affiliated with the Hispanic Federation and the National Urban Indian Family Coalition (NUIFC), as well organizations such as NPower, with plans to invest millions more throughout the year.“We've never been more committed to closing the digital divide and helping people get connected to the Internet through Project UP. By working with our partners at all levels of government and within the community, we can accelerate our efforts to ensure everyone has access to the Internet and the skills they need to excel in today's digital economy,” said Broderick Johnson, executive vice president, Public Policy and Digital Equity, Comcast.
In addition to retail, customers can visit www.xfinity.com/acp, www.internetessentials.com, or call (844) 389-4681 for more information, to determine eligibility, and sign up. A dedicated ACP Enrollment and Support Center is available from 8 a.m. until midnight daily, with multi-lingual capabilities to assist anyone interested in the program.
