The Internet Discount Finder matches eligible Wisconsin residents to low-cost home internet service and discount programs by entering their address and identifying their eligibility criteria.
MADISON, Wis. - Gov. Tony Evers, along with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, on Thursday announced the launch of the Internet Discount Finder to help Wisconsin households find and access affordable internet.
The new tool can assist in finding free and discounted internet service available to eligible Wisconsin residents.
"We’re proud our investments are helping more than 395,000 homes and businesses get new or improved broadband services, but we know that cost continues to be a major barrier for folks and families across the state," said Evers. "This tool is just one more way we can help close the digital divide."
