Speed of low-income internet plan to be increased by Comcast

Comcast has said that it will increase the speeds for its low-cost Internet Essentials plan in what is being called a victory for student activists working towards closing the digital divide. Some families claimed that the Internet Essentials plan was not fast enough for online learning. Speeds of 50Mbps download and 5Mbps upload will be provided as compared to the 25Mbps and 3Mbps earlier.
