Spectrum Internet Assist

Charter Communications, one of the most popular internet providers in the US, has recently introduced a new standalone broadband internet offering, which is high speed and low cost at the same time. Charter introduced the service, named Spectrum Internet Assist, in their efforts to bridge the digital divide.

The service was introduced at a special ceremony that was conducted at Robert Louis Stevenson Middle School. Spectrum Internet Assist is said to offer best internet speeds to their customers. The service provides eligible customers with low cost broadband internet service that has speeds up to thirty megabytes per second. In fact, the speeds offered by the service exceed the Federal Communication Commission’s high-speed requirements, and includes standard features like internet security program, email inboxes, and a modem at no extra costs.

Charter announced that the Spectrum Internet Assist service is available throughout the legacy service area of Charter. Officials also added that they would continue to rollout the service market by market with an aim of covering their remaining footprint by the middle of the year. “We’re excited to bring a whole new world of digital access and opportunity to low income families and seniors,” said Tom Rutledge, Charter’s Chairman and CEO. “Spectrum Internet Assist is an important next step in providing true high-speed connections to those who would otherwise continue to face a digital inequality in this country.”

The ceremony was conducted on April 7 in an auditorium filled with parents and students at Stevenson. Assemblyman Miguel Santiago, chair of the new Communications and Conveyance Committee of the Assembly, joined in the ceremony together with many other government representatives. Other organizations like School2Home, the California Emerging Technology Fund, and the Hollenbeck Youth Center of Boyle Heights also attended the function.

“In my new role, I am 100 percent focused on what we as a state can do to bridge the digital divide and ensure that everyone has equal access to technology,” Santiago said. “I am proud to stand with Charter Communications as they launch their new Spectrum Internet Assist program in my district. I applaud their efforts toward helping California progress, and I can’t wait to see what these students and teachers are able to achieve with regular access to the most up-to-date information at their fingertips.”
