H10. Mark only one box.

Access to the Internet by paying a cell phone company or Internet service provider includes any service that any member of the household obtains directly through a contract agreement with an Internet service provider, or through payments to a landlord, the government, or someone else. If the service is currently not available due to non-payment or being out of contract, do not select this choice.

Access to the Internet without paying a cell phone company or Internet service provider includes services that do not require an account or contract agreement, such as connections offered freely through a city, town, or institution.

Covid-19 Guidance

Some households may receive monetary assistance with their internet service bills from their employer or school:

If the household is reimbursed for some or all of the expense of an internet connection by an employer or school or the household has an employer or school provided internet connection, modem, or internet "hotspot" and the household pays for part of the cost then select "Yes by paying a cell phone company or internet service provider."

If the household has an internet connection, a modem, or an internet "hotspot" provided to them (temporarily or permanently) by an employer or school and the household pays no expense and does not pay for any other internet service or cell phone data plan, then select "Yes, without paying cell phone company or Internet service provider."
