Hi, Martin.
The program you are asking about is called Internet Essentials.
For those who qualify, it offers Internet access for $9.95 per month with
download speeds of 10 MBPS. This speed should be more than sufficient for basic
use, particularly if the device being used is an Alexa device, such as an
Amazon Echo or Echo Dot.
Customers who qualify for this program also have the option of purchasing a
computer for $149.99. I have no idea as to the specs of the computer, nor do I
know which version of Windows has been installed. Since this program is not
just for blind or visually impaired customers, it's safe to assume that it
would not come with a screen reader or screen magnifier, except for whatever
accessibility options are preinstalled with the operating system.
For more information, the Web site is
