Subject: Where Can I Find Cheap or Free Internet for Low-Income Families?

I am a single mother with 3 children. I am currently living with my parents who I care for. I have a full-time job and a part-time job both of which offer a low-income.

I have managed to pay off all my credit card debt and have established an emergency fund.

I am paying over $40 dollars for the internet at the moment because my children need it for their education. I also use it to make money on the internet and look for opportunities to further my career.

I was wondering if you know of any cheap or free internet services for low-income families.

Thanks in advance.

My Response

Hello, Heather and thanks for emailing.

I am happy to see you're making progress. Keep up the good work.

If you're paying $40 for the internet you are paying too much especially if you're on a very low-income. 

There are many internet providers which offer low-cost internet for low-income families.

Cheap or Free Internet for Low-Income Families

The best internet service provider for low-income families is AT&T's Access Service which offers a low-cost wireline home internet service to qualifying households.

To be eligible for the AT&T Low-Cost Wireline Home Internet Service you must meet the following requirements

One: At least one resident must be in the receipt of U.S. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

Two: You must have an address in AT&T's 21-State service area which offers Wireline Home Internet Service.

Three: You must not have debt on other AT&T fixed internet services.

Four: If you live in California and at least one resident is in receipt of SSI you may also qualify.

Benefits of AT&T Internet for Low-Income Families

One: No Commitment - You can cancel at any time, you are not tied into a contract

Two: No Deposit - You don't have to make any expensive upfront payments for equipment

Three: No Installation Fee - You don't have to pay for installation and maintenance

Four: You get access to WIFI gateway at AT&T Wifi Hotspots at no extra cost.

Price List for AT&T Internet for Low-Income Families

There are 5 tiers available and the cheapest tier is only $5 per month. 

Here is the full breakdown of the price list for AT&T Low-cost Internet

Tier 1: 10 Megabits Per Second - $10 per Month

Tier 2: 5 Megabits Per Second - $10 per Month

Tier 3: 3 Megabits Per Second - $5 per Month

Tier 4: 1.5 Megabits Per Second - $5 per Month

Tier 5: 768 Kilobits per Second - $5 per Month

All these tiers depend on your internet speed for your given location. 

The best Tier, in my opinion, is Tier 3 where you get 3 Megabits per second for $5 per month.

You will not be able to download full HD movies with this speed but it is sufficient for children doing their homework and for you find a better job.

How to Apply for AT&T Low-Cost Wireline Cheap Internet Service

Apply for the AT&T low-cost wireline cheap internet service is very simple and I have outlined the steps below.

Step 1: Check service availability - Enter your address and zip code to see if AT&T offer this service in your area.

Step 2: Call AT&T to make the full application on the following numbers

English     855.220.5211
Spanish    855.220.5225

Step 3: Arrange a time for the AT&T Low-Cost Wireline Internet Service to be installed free of charge.

Cheap or Free Internet for Low-Income Families

AT&T Low-Cost wireline internet service is one of the best for low-income families.

There are no upfront costs or installation costs.

You can cancel at any time and you are not tied down to a contract.

I have been reading your blog for 2 years now and I have taken on board many of your ideas. Thanks to you, I have now got a better paying job and have an emergency fund and savings. I have paid off my debt and I am now making progress with my personal finance.

I now wanted to reward myself and wanted to know where I can get cheap Apple certified products for low-income.

I do not want to spend too much money, I want to know where I could get refurbished Apple Certified Products because I need a tablet and laptop to make more money online.

I look forward to hearing from you and thanks for all the personal advice and emails!

My Reply

Hello, Richard.

I am delighted that you're making progress with your personal finances.

Getting a better-paid job, an emergency fund, savings account and paying off debt are great achievements, well done!

I'm glad some of my advice has been useful.

In this post, I will be sharing the best places to get Apple Certified Products which have been checked and refurbished. You can get these Apple Certified Products for low prices.

In my opinion, buying an Apple Refurbished Certified Product from Apple is the best way to go.

I don't really like going to other third-party places for Refurbished Apple Products because they have not been certified by Apple.

Where Can I Get Cheap Apple Certified Products?

You can find the best deals on Cheap Apple Certified Products on the Apple website. I will be posting the link below.

On the Apple website, you will find:

1. Cheap Certified Refurbished Apple Mac
2. Cheap Certified Refurbished Apple iPad
3. Cheap Certified Refurbished Apple iPhone
4. Cheap Certified Refurbished Apple Watches

Guaranteed Apple Quality

The reason why I buy most of my Apple Products from the Refurbished Certified Apple products department is because they offer a one-year warranty after the Apple Product has been tested rigorously.

Before the Apple Product is certified is undergoes a very thorough refurbishment process to make sure it is within Apple's very high standards. Other refurbishment companies cannot offer this quality.

As mentioned earlier, all the Apple Refurbished Certified Products come with a one year warranty and you also have the option of extending the warranty with AppleCare, this is something I always do and I recommend you do it. 

Recycle Your Old Computer and Get an Apple Gift Card

If you have an old computer you can recycle this with Apple. 

If your computer still has a value you will be offered a Gift Card from Apple which can be used to buy refurbished Apple Certified Products. 

Here are come of the latest refurbished Apple Certified Products...

Latest Refurbished Apple Certified Products from Apple

1. Refurbished iPod Touch only $169 Dollars

2. Refurbished Apple Watch Series 2 was $540, now $496

5. Refurbished iPhone Mini, was $370, now $279

You can find all the latest deals on the Apple Certified Products Page here 

I really hope this information helps you find a cheap refurbished Certified Apple Product. 

These Certified Apple Products may be slightly expensive compared to other cheaper refurbished products offered by third-parties, however, you must remember that Apple offers a quality guarantee and you will also have a 1 year warranty which you can extend. 

You also get a Apple Gift Card for the value of your old computer if you decide to recycle it with Apple.

I wish you all the best and hope this information is useful to you..
