Altice Suddenlink Veteran Discounts
The Altice Advantage program offers internet service for just $14.99* per month and is available to veterans receiving public assistance. The program also accepts seniors eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This option is great for those who have Suddenlink or other Altice Internet Service available in their area already. However, it’s not available for all veterans. Apply online to determine if you qualify.

Many of the companies above are already a partner of Veterans Advantage, along with a few additional ones.
Veterans Advantage is a subscription program, which means you have to sign up for a paid subscription in order to get the associated benefits. Members also get the VetReward card, which you can use at many places as proof of identification without having to provide other military credentials.
