In this time of social distancing, Internet providers could do a HUGE service

[Rorey]

Communication is key in a time of crises. Internet should be free to everyone.

That's is all.

1. I have stand alone internet, it costs more than having a package with tv channels ( a minimum

basic package to be sure) but it is still aggravating to being paying more to avoid something I do not want

3. I was going to go with stand alone Internet

My son and his family moved in with me for a few months last year while they were building a house. (A few months turned out to be nine months!) They brought their Xfinity services with them, and I dropped mine. When they left, I was able to take advantage of the new customer promo for a year, so I have Internet and basic tv for a little over $50 per month. That's doable for me. When the promo period is over, I'll explore my options.

2. Mandatory online learning and data caps

Not to mention massive increases in work-from-home. They must be licking their chops.

5. I'm sure they are

It makes me sick that they could increase their already huge profits while so many are going to suffer.

I also think that chocolate should be free to everyone, but that may just be me trying to resist the candy bar in my cabinet.

4. If they gave even half a damn about providing service, you'd see more rural investment.

All they care about is money, crisis or no. The only reason they'd do something like that isn't from the goodness of their hearts, but from the brains of the PR department.

6. While I'm sure they hope to profit from it in future, Spectrum is offering 60-days free for students

I do agree that internet is all but impossible to live without nowadays and we can't afford for kids -- and others -- to be cut off. Don't know how that needs to occur or best way after worst is over.

7. Kudos to Spectrum NT

8. Armstrong cable has lifted data caps for residential users and opened their wifi hot spots to the

general public.
