Internet Essentials, Comcast’s low-cost internet program, has helped 6 million people get online since its start in 2011, the Philly-based company said on Monday.

The $10-a-month service added 2 million subscribers since last year, when the company expanded the reach of its offering for senior citizens from five cities to 12, alongside other expansions.

As of Monday, the nearly 1 million low-income veterans who receive federal or state public assistance and live in a Comcast-served area will also have access to the program, in a move Comcast exec David Cohen says could be “life changing.”

“This program has had an enormous impact on millions of families and children who now have high-speed Internet at home, many for the first time in their lives,” said Cohen, senior executive VP and chief diversity officer at Comcast. “We’re excited to extend that same opportunity to more than 1 million, low-income veterans. Veterans have stood up for our country; now it’s time for us to stand up for them by providing access to life-changing digital tools and resources.”
