Affordable Internet Access Paves the Way for Community Support in Calhoun County
CALHOUN COUNTY, AL — In an era where essential living costs are on the rise, Sparklight is stepping up to help residents in Calhoun County stay connected by introducing an affordable internet option designed for those in need.
The broadband provider’s Lift Internet program is now available throughout most of its service area, including Calhoun County. For just $29.95 per month, this plan includes a free modem and standard installation, without requiring a credit check. It is accessible to individuals and families who qualify through federal assistance programs such as Medicaid, SNAP (EBT), Social Security Disability Income (SSDI), and Unemployment Compensation.
“Access to reliable internet is a necessity, and we’re committed to removing the barriers so that we can support our neighbors in the communities we serve,” said Tony Mokry, Senior Vice President of Residential Services at Sparklight. This initiative aligns with the growing recognition of internet access as a critical utility, essential for work, education, healthcare, and staying connected—especially as we face challenges in our daily lives.
As the Bible reminds us in Galatians 6:2, "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ." This program symbolizes just that—providing practical support to those who might be struggling. Neighbors helping neighbors reflects the heart of community spirit and the love that we are called to exhibit.
Sparklight’s Lift Internet is part of a broader effort to deliver straightforward and essential digital solutions during a time when access to the internet has become more crucial than ever. In a world where connections often rely on digital platforms, initiatives like these are vital for fostering community resilience and support.
