The COVID-19 pandemic has made clear the importance of high-speed internet in Massachusetts for school, work and connecting with family over the holidays and broadband providers in Massachusetts are taking proactive steps to ensure that families and students can stay connected.
They’ve pledged not to terminate service for customers unable to pay their bills, waived late fees, opened up thousands of free Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the commonwealth, invested over a billion dollars in programs to help low-income individuals get connected and partnered with municipalities and schools to provide subsidized high-speed internet service at no cost to students or their families.
