Updated on 3/20/2020: I’ve been offered some free resources during this coronavirus isolation month. And I thought I would compile and share (in one place) a list of free and discounted resources (and even food) during this time of isolation.

Free Wifi During Coronavirus
Comcast is offering wifi hotspots available nationwide due to the coronavirus.
The hotspots will be available with no data caps, disconnects or late fees and speeds will increase to 3 Mbps. This allows parents and students to have access to news and educational content.
Once at a hotspot, select “xfinitywifi” network name from the wifi menu, then launch the preferred browser.
XFinity
To find an Xfinity WiFi Hotspot, check the hotspot location map at wifi.xfinity.com or download the Xfinity WiFi Hotspots app from the App Store or Google Play.
Xfinity is making it easier for low-income families who live in a Comcast service area to sign up by offering new customers 60 days of complimentary Internet Essentials service.
According to Xfinity’s website, that service is normally $9.95 a month.
The company is also increasing internet speeds for the Internet Essentials service from 15/2 Mbps to 25/3 Mbps for all new and existing customers, which will be the speed of the service going forward.
To receive the increased Internet speeds, existing customers will not need to do anything.
For new customers, applicants visit www.internetessentials.com. The accessible website also includes the option to video chat with customer service agents in American Sign Language. There are also two dedicated phone numbers 1-855-846-8376 for English and 1-855-765-6995 for Spanish.
Xfinity WiFi hotspots across the country will also be available to anyone who needs them for free – including non-Xfinity Internet customers. For a map of Xfinity WiFi hotspots, visit xfinity.com/wifi. Once at a hotspot, consumers should select the “xfinitywifi” network name in the list of available hotspots, and then launch a browser.
