A deaf and disabled man from Powys who struggled with no broadband access and no mobile signal at his home says his digital connectivity has been transformed thanks to Welsh Government support.
Mark, who lives in a very rural area of Powys, found access to decent broadband was becoming increasingly important for communication and security needs.
The lack of connectivity created significant barriers for Mark's work and daily life. He experienced great difficulties using British Sign Language with interpreters during video calls for work, and accessing online entertainment such as streaming TV programmes and films was impossible.
After learning that neighbours in his community had successfully used the Welsh Government’s Access Broadband Cymru (ABC) grant scheme, Mark researched his options and decided on a satellite broadband solution.
