Those on Comcast Internet Essentials are getting some good news, with the ISP’s low-income plan doubling its speed for the same price. Launched in 2011, and then extended indefinitely in 2014, Internet Essentials had until now been offering 25 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up.
That was actually a speed boost, with Comcast having boosted the rates users could get from the low-cost plan back in March 2020.

The Miami HEAT, alongside PepsiCo, TD Bank, FedEx Express, and Comcast, hosted a contactless drive-through food and gift distribution to make the holidays brighter for local students and families from Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS). Twelve students, identified from underprivileged areas, received a holiday gift bag from FedEx, a subscription for eight months of internet service, and a Chromebook laptop from Comcast, JBL headphones, toys, and other items from HEAT partners.
Families also received meals from a local Black-owned business, Shuckin and Jivin Chicken and Seafood Restaurant, provided by PepsiCo as part of Pepsi Stronger Together – a national initiative to empower and engage communities around the country by providing tailored programming and resources that bring people together. In January, PepsiCo will collaborate with the HEAT to provide 1,000 meals that will be distributed throughout South Florida to families in need.
