AT&T is working with school districts and community-based organizations to spread the word about a new program, called Access from AT&T, designed to help bridge the digital divide by making wireline home Internet service more affordable for low-income households.

Access from AT&T is available to qualifying households in California with at least one resident participating in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.

Qualifying households will be assigned the fastest of five speed tiers – 10Mbps, 5Mbps, 3Mbps, 1.5Mbps, and 768kbs – available at their address.

Internet speeds provided at over 3Mbps will cost $10 a month, and Internet speeds at 3Mbps and below will cost $5 a month.

The company also will waive installation and Internet equipment fees for participating households.
