The problem with slower internet and refurbished tech for the elderly or poor is that it is slower. Slower means people think the computer isn't doing anything. That means clicking more. Which means the computer gets slower. If anything, the poor and elderly need faster internet and faster computers. We geeks know how to deal with a slow computer (even if it's frustrating). We know when to stop pushing it and what a thrashing hard drive means to its performance.
