While a big and expensive internet package is usually not necessary, internet service with decent speed and capability that is within budget is usually more realistic.<\/p>\n<p>Comcast offers a special plan for seniors to choose from in addition to its other plans that are available to all customers. Each plan differs when it comes to the internet speed and features it offers.<\/p>\n<h2>Internet Speed & Plan Costs<\/h2>\n<h3>Internet Essentials Plan<\/h3>\n<p>Comcast recognizes that seniors are on a budget and cannot devote a lot of money to monthly internet service. That\u2019s why its Internet Essentials plan aims to offer quality service at an affordable price. It includes 15 Mbps and in-home Wi-Fi for $9.95\/month plus tax. In order to qualify for this program, you need to meet the following requirements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Must be 62 years or older<\/li>\n<li>Must live in one of the current eligible areas (Contact Comcast to see if you are living in one now)<\/li>\n<li>Must receive state or federal public assistance specific to the area where you live<\/li>\n<li>Must not have any outstanding debt to Comcast that is less than one year old (if you have debt that is older than one year old, you may still be eligible)<\/li>\n<li>Must live in an area where Comcast internet service is available, but not have subscribed to it within the last 90 days<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With this program, there is no term contract, no credit check, and no installation fee. Once you\u2019re approved for the Internet Essentials Program, you can also take advantage of a program that allows you to get a computer or laptop for $149.99 plus tax. You may even be eligible for free computer and internet training classes.<\/p>\n<p>To get more information on whether this entire program is offered in your area, call your local Comcast office.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not qualify for the Internet Essentials Program, Comcast does offer other internet plans.<\/p>\n<h3>Performance Internet<\/h3>\n<p>If this package is available in your area, you can get:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Up to 60 Mbps download speeds<\/li>\n<li>Speed good for up to 5 devices at a time<\/li>\n<li>No term agreement<\/li>\n<li>30-day money-back guarantee<\/li>\n<li>Cost is $39.99\/month<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is the least expensive internet only package that Comcast offers. There are other offers with faster speeds that range from $49.99\/month all the way up to $299.95\/month. For many seniors who just want basic internet service, the Performance Internet service will do the job at the least expensive price offered.<\/p>\n<h2>Bundle Savings<\/h2>\n<p>If you choose to bundle your internet service with other Comcast services, you could save more on your monthly bill. These are the bundle packages available:<\/p>\n<h3>Choice Double Play<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Up to 100Mbps download speed<\/li>\n<li>Basic cable service of 10+ channels<\/li>\n<li>Cost is $49.99\/month<\/li>\n<li>No term agreement<\/li>\n<li>30-day money- back guarantee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Standard Double Play<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Up to 100Mbps download speed<\/li>\n<li>125+ cable channels<\/li>\n<li>$69.99\/month with a 2-year agreement<\/li>\n<li>30-day money- back guarantee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Standard Triple Play<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Up to 100Mbps download speed<\/li>\n<li>125+ cable channels<\/li>\n<li>Telephone service with unlimited calling nationwide<\/li>\n<li>$79.99\/month with a 2-year-agreement<\/li>\n<li>30-day money- back guarantee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Select Triple Play<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Up to 150Mbps download speed<\/li>\n<li>210+ cable channels<\/li>\n<li>Telephone service with unlimited calling nationwide<\/li>\n<li>$99.99\/month with a 2-year-agreement<\/li>\n<li>30-day money- back guarantee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Signature Triple Play<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Up to 400Mbps download speed<\/li>\n<li>219+ cable channels and Netflix, Showtime, & Starz<\/li>\n<li>Telephone service with unlimited calling nationwide<\/li>\n<li>$119.99\/month with a 2-year-agreement<\/li>\n<li>30-day money- back guarantee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Comcast also offers Quad Play packages that include home security services as well. Those prices are not available online as you need to call your local Comcast office to see what services you can get in your area.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in Latino programming, you can add these channels to a package for an additional $5 more per month.<\/p>\n<h2>Senior Discounts<\/h2>\n<p>Comcast does not offer any senior discounts on its monthly plans since it does offer the Internet Essentials plan that caters to seniors. But, you can also call Comcast to see what types of promotional offers are available when you are looking to get new service.<\/p>\n<h2>Summary<\/h2>\n<p>Comcast offers service around the country and is <a href=\"\/internet\/best\/\">an established name in the communications business<\/a>. If you live in one of the areas where the Comcast Internet Essentials Plan is offered, you can get a good deal on quality internet service as well as have the opportunity to get a computer at a discounted rate. For those who do not qualify and can afford the basic plan, bundling can save you money per month. It\u2019s also worth calling your local Comcast office to see what types of promotions may be available in your area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many senior citizens enjoy having access to the internet because it allows them to keep up with current events, stay in touch with family and friends, and even do some online shopping.
