BRANTFORD, ON – Rogers Communications rolled out its Connected for Success program in Ontario's Brant Region Friday, offering its inexpensive Internet service to more than 1,300 subsidized households in the City of Brantford and County of Brant.

The service, available for $9.99 per month, requires no contract or credit checks upon sign up.

“In today’s digital world, access to the internet is essential – it’s how we book doctors’ appointments, finish our homework, and connect with friends and family,” said Peter King, Rogers’ senior director of corporate social responsibility, in the news release. “Together with the City of Brantford, we’re committed to help bridge the digital divide for residents in the Brant region so that they can access vital information and opportunities in the community.”

To date, more than 15,500 households across Rogers’ cable footprint in Ontario, New Brunswick and Newfoundland have signed up for the program since its inception in 2013.

Rogers also offers Internet 5, a low-cost service priced at $32.99 per month (plus $8 extra for modem rental), to anyone within its Internet service area.
