With more people staying, working, and learning from home to slow the spread of the coronavirus, and with the rapid flow of critical health information online, GCI is expanding its internet services.

Current GCI internet customers can upgrade their data plans for free through May 31. To upgrade their data, customers can contact GCI online or over the phone.

People without GCI internet service can now access it for free. Households, K-12 students, and educators without GCI internet can receive free, entry-level cable modem internet plans through the end of May. K-12 students and educators can also receive free wi-fi equipment.

GCI is also continuing its program that offers wireless mobile service to low-income users for $1 per month.

Anna Rose MacArthur served as KYUK's News Director from 2015-2022.
