If you don’t use the internet very often, it can seem like something that exists for other people to use. More and more of everyday life is moving online, from managing your health and finances to staying connected with family and friends. For many people, reliable internet access has become an essential utility, much like water or electricity. Yet the cost of internet service can be a barrier, especially for older adults living on a fixed income. This National Internet Day, we’re highlighting local resources that can help you find affordable internet service, devices, and digital support so you can stay connected without breaking your budget.
