Free and Low Cost Offers from Broadband Service Providers

Many Internet providers are offering no cost or low cost options for students who need to take their classes online. Many of these same companies are lifting data caps, to make sure you can more easily download your course content. Although Georgia State does not promote or endorse any specific vendor, one of these options may work for your needs.
