&lt;p&gt;Lifeline is a federal discount of &lt;a href="https://www.fcc.gov/lifeline-consumers"&gt;up to $9.25 a month&lt;/a&gt; on home internet for low-income households, and up to $34.25 a month for eligible subscribers on Tribal lands. You qualify through a benefit program like SNAP or Medicaid, or through your income. In Boulder, &lt;a href="https://opendata.usac.org/resource/kjtb-4uf7.json?carrier_state=CO&amp;amp;county=Boulder&amp;amp;carrier_type=Home%20Service&amp;amp;$limit=200"&gt;two home-service providers are listed as taking it&lt;/a&gt;: CenturyLink and Live Wire Networks. &lt;a href="https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/xfinity-lifeline-faqs"&gt;Xfinity is not a participating provider&lt;/a&gt;. Most Coloradans who could use the discount don't have it: as of September 2026, &lt;a href="https://puc.colorado.gov/press-release/puc-urges-qualified-residents-to-apply-for-broadband-and-phone-services-assistance"&gt;about 91,191 Coloradans were enrolled&lt;/a&gt;, while on average more than 550,000 qualify. If you rent, raise a family or study at CU on a tight budget, check whether you qualify before you choose a plan. The discount reaches you through the provider you sign up with, so that choice decides whether you can use it.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
