The details

Cox's Connect2Compete program offers low-cost home internet ($9.95/mo, up to 100 Mbps, wifi modem rental included, no credit check or SSN required) for households with at least one K-12 student that participate in a qualifying government assistance program. Eligibility is INCOME/ASSISTANCE-BASED, not college-enrollment-based — a college student qualifies only if their household also has a K-12 student and assistance enrollment. NOTE: a widely-aggregated claim that Cox gives college students ~10-20% off via a student-verification platform/SheerID was investigated and DELISTED 2026-07-16 (owner decision, task f11b78f8): no Cox-owned page, landing page, or discount-code mechanism was ever found — every mention traces to the same handful of aggregator sites quoting each other.
