The Aug. 15 deadline is approaching for San Diego active-duty military and veterans to visit a nearby Cox store to sign up and qualify for a “Cox Salutes” internet offer that features a $100 prepaid debit card.
Military families, according to recent White House data, made up nearly half of all recipients of broadband subsidies through the federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).
With the ACP and its $30/month subsidy having come to an end, participants are in search of options to get and stay connected to internet service at home.
To help ease the burden for active-duty and veteran military families in San Diego County, Cox Communications launched “Cox Salutes,” a new offer that features a $100 prepaid debit card for new San Diego customers who sign up for a Cox internet plan during the period of July 15 to Aug. 15.
The Cox Salutes offer is also open to existing customers who add an internet plan during that period.
Active-duty military and veterans in San Diego County can visit a nearby Cox store to sign up and qualify for the offer.
Cox offers various internet tiers, including two affordability plans geared toward qualifying lower-income households.
• ConnectAssist — $30/month for speeds up to 100Mbps (for households without K-12 children and ideal for those who receive a VA pension or survivors benefits).
• Connect2Compete — $9.95/month for speeds up to 100Mbps for families with children in grades K-12 to ensure digital equity for all students for their education.

Internet discounts with Cox Mobile
Cox Internet customers who sign up for Cox Mobile services can also receive a discount on their internet plan. More information on Cox Mobile and the latest phones is available in the Cox stores.
Cox store locations in North County include Oceanside, Escondido and San Marcos.
Internet connectivity has been an important service to meet educational and employment needs, but also telehealth to make mental health services and virtual doctor’s appointments easier to access.
