Many low-income families have been disproportionately impacted by the lack of accessibility to broadband services during the pandemic. In the past, some may have been able to get by without full access to the internet or using shared computers and devices. However, with jobs and schools shifting to a virtual environment, these families are having to choose between paying their internet bills and maintaining basic household needs like groceries and rent.
