 So they don't have anything else at home that uses the Internet? No smart 
 TV, no Ring doorbell, no gaming devices? 
  
 If so, that would put them in the <%5 of the UK who don't have home 
 broadband. Not entirely implausible, of course. But that's the point at 
 which I'd cease to have an interest in helping them solve a self-inflicted 
 problem. 
  
 (And if the underlying issue is that they're homeless or some similar state, 
 then there are plenty of charities and voluntary groups which will help them 
 print off documents like that).
