Comcast Extends Through 2020 60-Day Free Net Service for Families in Need

Comcast extended its offer of free internet service through year-end, providing 60 days of free service to students and families in need during the pandemic, it said Thursday. It's for new, eligible Internet Essentials customers who don't have a past-due balance, it said. Comcast put the program in place March 12 with a planned end date of June 30. That's when the FCC's "Keep Americans Connected" pandemic pledge ends (see 2006180002).
