Comcast Supports Veterans


Comcast Expands Internet Essentials Program to Include
Low-Income Veterans

More than 157,000 veterans call New Mexico home, but unfortunately, more than 36,000 New Mexico veterans lived below the poverty level in the last year, according to the United States Census Bureau.

At Comcast, we’re working to bridge the digital divide for all New Mexicans. We’re excited to share that for the eleventh time in seven years, we are expanding the eligibility of the Internet Essentials program to include low-income veterans.

Internet Essentials is the largest and most comprehensive broadband adoption program for low-income families in the U.S. Since 2011, the company has connected more than six million low-income Americans to the Internet. Including:

  • 132,000 individuals across New Mexico
  • 76,000 individuals in Albuquerque
  • 17,200 individuals in Las Cruces
  • 11,2000 individuals in Santa Fe
