Thanks for that Chris. There would be not much point if I could not connect without sighted assistance. Does it not work with the JAWS cursor?

Hi Barbara,
O2 are fine, however I found their Connection Manager main user interface is completely inaccessible. You'll be lucky to find the list of network connections. A sighted person however can use the main user interface absolutely fine. We can, but only if we're already connected. I know this as my sister's on O2 Mobile broadband. She's on a Pay and Go dongle and it's £15 a month for 3GB downloads. The dongle itself costs somewhere around £30. Hope this helps.

Hi All

I have been forced to cancel my Vodafone broadband as the netbook they
were giving me is now out of stock. I therefore want to change to
another provider. I found the Vodafone software extremely accessible,
but know there have been some issues with other provider's software and
screen readers.

So I can make the right choice, I would be greatful for feedback from
anyone using mobile broadband from other providers and how they find the
software. I don't want Vodafone and Three are out of the question as
their signal is very poor where I am. So that leaves O2, Orange,
T-Mobile and Virgin-Mobile.

Many thanks for information provided.
