Benefits of broadband:
Mobility and dexterity impairment

Broadband can bring many benefits to mobility impaired customers who have difficulty using public transport or physically accessing buildings. For example, you could think about home working on either a full or part time basis as broadband gives you the option of making phone calls, sending e-mails really quickly and even taking part in video calls.

You can also use broadband to give you instant on-line access to activities such as grocery shopping, on-line banking, gaming and downloading the latest music and movies to your home. If it is difficult for you to get out you could also think about using a webcam over broadband so that you can see your friends and family as well as speak to them.

For people with dexterity impairments the Internet can provide a means of communicating and living independently. If you have poor or limited control over movement you could think about using a touch-screen or voice recognition software to look up information on websites. There are also alternative ways of using a keyboard such as with an electronic head pointer, so you can type and send e-mails really quickly.
