New York State announced a new effort this week to raise awareness to discounted broadband Internet service rates for New Yorkers through the federal Affordable Connectivity Program.
New York residents can get up to $30 off monthly broadband fees. In addition to the $30 a month assistance financially eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if they contribute more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price.
