ISPs add low-cost broadband access

Internet access provides including Comcast and CenturyLink now are offering lower-cost access to broadband for lower-income households that buy fixed-line broadband access at lower rates than higher-income households. The services generally offer access at about 1.5 Mbps for $9.95 per month to qualifying households. Low-cost broadband access: How do MSOs compare?

The obvious business logic is that it makes sense to convert a non-customer into a customer by offering products optimized for those non-customers. Having a customer relationship is always better than not having one, even if the gross revenue is not so great.
