ROANOKE, Va. – Comcast is expanding its Internet Essentials program to about 1 million low-income veterans.
Under the new program, Comcast will provide low-income veterans with access to the internet for $10 a month.
The program also allows the veterans to buy computers at a quarter of what they would cost in the store.
Before this expansion, the program has already connected more than 6 million people with low-cost, high-speed internet.

Comcast lists four qualifications to determine eligibility for the program:
