Got a K-12 student in your household? You may be eligible for discounted Internet service through Cox Communications’ Connect2Compete Program! There’s no deposit, no installation fees, no modem rental fees and no contracts with this program!
See the other low-cost Internet programs we found here!
What does this program include?
For $9.95 per month, you’ll receive a free Wi-Fi modem and download speeds of at least 10 Mbps (and uploads of 1 Mbps!). As I said before, there are NO installation fees, NO deposits, NO modem rental fees and NO contracts. However, you will have to return the modem at the end of your enrollment or you’ll have to pay for it.
You’ll also be able to access over 400,000 Cox-affiliated Wi-Fi hotspots. For a map of the hotspots, please click here.
Once enrolled, you’ll receive this great price for at least two years but you can stay on the program longer.

Thanks for letting me know, Stephanie! It used to be valid, but it looks like they restructured the site. It’s now http://cox.connect2compete.org/main. I’ve updated this page accordingly. I really appreciate that you took the time to let me know!
