Free Home Internet with AT&T or Charter Spectrum

The wired in-home connectivity program through AT&T and Charter Spectrum had a limited application window. Installations have been completed. Families who applied and are connected through this program will have service for one year.  Services will end at the one-year mark of the connection or until June 30, 2023, whichever comes first.
