Harold Starlink

11/20/24

I’ve had Starlink for about 20 days. I’ve only been able to watch TV at night one night. Frequent outages! I’ve tried for about four hours tonight to watch TV and maybe I’ve had a total of three or four minutes uninterrupted.

Alabama internet assistance

Alabama residents have access to federal, state and local internet assistance programs to help them find affordable broadband. Some internet providers in Alabama also have low-income programs available to eligible customers.

Lifeline: Lifeline is a federal program providing $9.25/mo. toward internet, cellphone or bundled services. Eligibility depends on income and participation in a government assistance program.

Be Linked Alabama: Be Linked Alabama is a statewide initiative focused on expanding access to affordable high-speed internet in Alabama through partnerships with ISPs, research institutions, utility companies, community leaders and the Alabama legislature.

ISP programs: Internet providers in Alabama, such as AT&T, Xfinity, Spectrum and Verizon, offer low-income internet programs for eligible customers. If you already participate in a government assistance program and one of these providers is available at your Alabama residence, you can likely get access to an affordable internet option.
