If you are getting the free tier you can pay the one time fee in monthly installments of $25. One thing to consider about low income neighborhoods is not that people have $19.99/mo DSL/Cable and are happy with it, but that they may have NO internet connection at all because $20/mo is food money. My wife teaches in a low income neighborhood with a very high rate of homelessness and most of her students have no computer and those that do typically don't have internet access.

I can foresee a day when internet access (of some speed) is seen as a basic utility and society would no more tolerate entire neighborhoods of homes without internet access than we would an entire neighborhood of homes without electricity. That will be a good day.
