K-12 Teachers and Administrators as well as
University Faculty and Staff Receive $150 Visa Prepaid Card When
They Sign Up for Xfinity Service
Today, Comcast announced a new Xfinity Internet offer for K-12
teachers and administrators as well as university faculty and staff
aimed at helping connect America’s educators as they prepare for
the upcoming school year. Starting today, eligible faculty, staff
and administrators in the Comcast footprint will receive a $150
Visa prepaid card, which is worth about two months of Internet
service, when they sign up for an Xfinity package.
As the COVID-19 pandemic began this Spring, more than eight in
10 American parents said their children were learning remotely.
This fall as the school year begins again, faculty and school
administrators adapt to new communications and remote learning
options, Internet connectivity has never been more vital for
today’s educators.
“With learning looking very different this year across the
country, we want to help give our educators the connectivity they
need to support America’s youth during these unprecedented times,”
said Dana Strong, President, Xfinity Consumer Services,
Comcast.
Eligible K-12 teachers and administrators and university faculty
and staff can sign up for this offer at www.xfinity.com/teacher.
There are no upfront fees and no installation costs. Within a few
days of signing up they will receive a self-install kit, and then
in just a few weeks later a $150 Visa prepaid card with a value of
about two months of internet service. This offer is available to
faculty, staff and administrators who live in households that are
not already Xfinity customers, today through December 31st.
This offering comes on the heels of the launch of the new
“Internet Essentials Partnership Program”, which is designed to
help accelerate Internet adoption at a critical time, and Comcast’s
extension of two free months of Internet Essentials service to
eligible low-income individuals that sign up through the end of the
year. Further, the company is offering eligible university students
who need connectivity and sign up for service by September 30th a
$150 Visa prepaid card.
