You can now take advantage of the Broadband Initiative Program, which was launched under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. If you live in an area where you don’t have access to high-speed broadband Internet, then you could get low cost broadband at a price much less than what hundreds of thousands of other people currently pay for their satellite Internet.

–           Broadband Internet from wireline providers, such as cable or DSL, must not be available in your rural area.

–           You must live in the western half of the United States.

What to Do to Access the Program

 

There are a few satellite Internet providers, so you should do your research to find out which providers offer the low cost broadband under the Broadband Recovery Act. If you are eligible, then they’ll put you through their typical sign-up process. No need to pay extra fees to start, and your savings will be evident immediately.

 

Do you need low cost broadband for your home or business?

 

The offer will only last a little while, since the government has only allocated a certain amount of funds to the Broadband Initiative Program. However, many satellite Internet Providers will continue to offer your initial rate as long as your account remains in good standing.
