Comcast Extends 'Internet Essentials' Promotion 'til Sept. 30

Comcast's David Cohen said that the company will be extending its Internet Essentials promotion through Sept. 30.

Comcast had been looking to recruit more homes with a six-months-free promotion for new sign-ups that was to have ended Sept 21. Comcast announced the promotion August 4, in addition to an "amnesty" installment payment plan for overdue payments from Comcast customers who could otherwise qualify for the subsidy program.
