Charter Communications has resumed a remote education promotion offering  free Internet access to households with students or educators.

The promotion is available to households in Spectrum markets with students in kindergarten through college or educators and offers free Internet access for 60 days to those who don’t already use Spectrum Internet services.

To enroll, customers should call (844) 310-1198. Free self-installation kits will be provided.

“The pandemic has prompted new focus on the technology divide, and Charter is committed to being part of the comprehensive solution needed to close these gaps,” said Tom Rutledge, chairman and chief executive officer of Charter Communications. 

“This offer is the latest example of Charter’s ongoing commitment to improving access to broadband and helping to ease the strain of the pandemic in the communities we serve,” Rutledge said.

 Charter launched its remote education offer in March, resulting in 448,000 new households added through June 30.

 In addition to the remote education offer, Charter also offers Spectrum Internet Assist (SIA), a low-cost broadband program available to eligible low-income households and seniors. SIA includes a free Internet modem, high-speed data, no data caps or contracts and optional in-home wireless service for an additional $5 a month. 

SIA is available to households in which one or more members are a recipient of assistance through the National School Lunch Program or Supplemental Security Income.
