Having home internet can help you save money, look for a job, connect with others, make everyday tasks easier, and much more! This lecture goes over basic information you need to know when signing up for home internet service.

You’ll also learn about the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), a permanent, government program that helps qualifying low-income households pay for internet service and connected devices. In some cases, depending on your internet plan, the ACP discount may help you get home internet for free!

Who Are We?

Senior Planet members are an extremely diverse group of people 60 and over but all of us have these things in common:

• We have a burning desire to improve our lives in the years we have left - to make friends, to make money, to make a difference on the issues we care about, to discover new pathways for our creative selves, be as healthy as we can be and have a fun time while doing it!
• We’re optimistic about the future and our rightful place in it.
• We’re curious and eager to learn how to use technology and other powerful tools to help us live better and achieve our dreams.
• We’re committed to each other and to making Senior Planet a strong, positive, and effective force for producing social change.
