| Connect2Compete is just for the irresponsible people that went and made kids without considering the ability to provide for them what they would need for school and life.
Lifeline Internet is just like Lifeline Landline Telephone except that it's internet.

| Charter should be FORCED to have a lower plan and not just because of "the irresponsible people that went and made kids without considering the ability to provide for them what they would need for school and life." Probably should've mentioned the morons that think they have to have the top internet plan and don't consider the other expenses in life! Yes, I DO know some people who put internet over a lot of other things.
I have 1 kid who is grown up but I'm on disability with a fixed income. With the ridiculous way Charter raises rates and even more ridiculous internet plans they currently have, I hope they get MORE THAN forced to do so! 
Charter is the only company I can think of that is actually ran by more pickles/idiots than my wife's company, and that is a very hard feat to accomplish!!

| I agree, because broadband service is now considered a utility the companies should have to provide a modest product with a reasonable cost. There are plenty of people who are not welfare queens that have modest incomes and try to stay within their budget so they don't have to reply on the taxpayer to support their most basic needs. I would consider myself one of these people.
The unfortunate thing is that Charter HAD a nationwide plan that provided that solution for folks like us ..called "Internet Lite" with
3/1 service that was perfectly adequate for my needs and the price was reasonable too. The new CEO decided to get very GREEDY and did away with that plan. Now they will be forced to in REinvent it. LOL. How much you want to bet that Mr. Rutledge will take credit for this NEW low income plan.  |

Yes there is. Connect2Compete one must have kids in K-12 school.
Lifeline Internet you do not have to have kids, just low income below 125% of the federal poverty level.

Have Kids = Get Internet Now With Connect2Compete
Don't Have Kids = Wait Around Until Lifeline Internet is available.

I disagree that Internet is a basic need. It's not like heat where you're going to freeze if you can't afford to pay, thus cold weather disconnect rules have been implemented. |

"with a fixed income"
Ohh how I hate that term..... I too am on a "Fixed Income", my pay check is the same exact amount on the 1st and 15th of each month so I too am on a "Fixed Income".

Ya, actually most of the "fixed income" people are the higher paid more educated on a "salary".
The working poor that work for a "hourly wage" have a variable income because each pay check can differ due to missed days, being late, overextended lunches.
Football player's million dollar contracts are a "fixed" income amount.

Who was that in reply to? or are you talking about yourself?
You replied that post to me, certainly that was not your intention as I have a A.S. in Computer Network Administration.

I am referring to that statement. Many (not all) of these people choose to screw off in school or dropped out. There are a lot of higher paying jobs that do not require college degrees but the do require a high school education.

In this economy, many of the "working poor" don't have fixed hours, beyond about 20-30 per week, because the employer saves a bundle in HR expenses per "part time" employee.
