Affordable Internet Improves Lives According to Recent Survey

According to a recent report from Cox, conducted by a third-party research firm, customers enrolled in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) and/or who use Cox's Connect2Compete (C2C) service are experiencing significant positive impacts on their careers, their children's education and to the continuing education of the adults in their household. Cox's long-standing commitment to narrowing the digital divide began 20 years ago with Connect2Compete for families with K-12 children. Cox is proudly administering the Affordable Connectivity Program to deliver financial relief to customers and recently launched a new low-cost solution ideal for veterans, senior citizens, and Americans with disabilities, called ConnectAssist. C2C and ConnectAssist customers can receive free internet when the ACP benefit is applied. The October 2022 report, which surveyed more than 2,000 customers, found the positive impacts that stem from Cox internet access, 93 percent of ACP and C2C customers indicate they're able to pay their bills on time more easily, and 95 percent of C2C customers say it provides a way for their family to spend more time together.
