Cable One, Inc. (NYSE: CABO) (the “Company” or “Cable One”)
today announced that its family of brands (Sparklight®, NewWave
Communications and Fidelity Communications) will offer additional
relief measures to support families in need during the coronavirus
(COVID-19) crisis. Beginning today, a 15 Mbps internet plan for $10
per month is available for the next 60 days to help low income
families and those most impacted from coronavirus challenges, such
as seniors and college students. No documentation will be required
to sign up for this plan.
Earlier this week, the Company opened free WiFi hotspots in
local office parking lots across its footprint for public use
during the crisis in order to keep individuals and communities
connected. The Company will work to open additional WiFi hotspots
in other public areas in the coming days and weeks.
Beginning March 13, 2020, Cable One made unlimited data
available on all internet services for 30 days and committed to
waiving late fees and deferring payments for its customers for 60
days.
The Company also stands ready to support critical infrastructure
with speed upgrades and other requests to ensure ongoing and
reliable service for local educators and health care professionals,
including customers under federal rural healthcare and E-rate
programs.
Cable One will continue evaluating all measures being taken
based on the ongoing impact and evolving nature of the
pandemic.
“A fast and reliable internet connection has never been more
important for staying in touch with family, friends, school and
work,” said Julie Laulis, President and CEO. “Being a local
connectivity provider means we are there for our communities in
difficult times like these, and we remain committed to keeping our
customers connected and supporting them through this crisis.”
