Should be higher. $60/mo. tax credit for broadband plus $2,000 every 3 years for tech gear.

That’s more then I spend for my household on “tech gear” every 3 years, including cellular devices. I am far from any line that would qualify me for a program… seems excessive.
I agree with the bump to $60, $30 is a good subsidy like a decade + ago.

Is the money supposed to completely pay for it or is it a subsidy? If it’s a subsidy then $30 seems fine. High speed Internet at around $50 seems pretty common.
