Head Back to School with Comcast

As the end of summer approaches, it’s time to start planning for the kids to head back to school. And, with technology becoming more prevalent in the classroom and at home, Comcast offers a suite of Xfinity products and services that work with you and your lifestyle to make sure everyone stays on their A-game:

• Get connection at home with Internet Essentials: To help close the digital divide and ensure everyone can connect to the Internet at home, we provide low-cost, high-speed Internet service for $9.95 a month plus tax; the option to purchase an Internet-ready computer for under $150; and multiple options to access free digital literacy training in print, online and in person for low-income residents and families. Eligible program applicants must have at least one child who is eligible for the National School Lunch Program or receive HUD housing assistance. And, with our most recent announcement, now low-income veterans are also eligible to enroll.
• Manage your home WiFi network: With the Xfinity xFi app, you can control your Internet usage from anywhere, on any device. Keep your kids focused by using “Active Time Alerts” to set time allowances for their daily WiFi usage; see what devices are online, how long they’ve been on and even pause WiFi for devices on your network, so those written assignments get done as well. And, consider setting up xFi Pods in those hard-to-reach areas of your home for full-home WiFi coverage.
• Get piece of mind with Xfinity Home: With Xfinity Home, you can use the app to monitor activity with live video of outdoor and indoor cameras or receive alerts when your kids get home safely from school.
• Experience the latest from Xfinity: While you are out school supply shopping, head over to one of our Xfinity Stores, conveniently located in shopping centers throughout the Beltway Region, to learn more about how our Xfinity products & services can help you ace this school year. Experience the xFi Gateway firsthand, learn more about Xfinity Home, test-drive the latest updates to our X1 platform and more!
