Best ADSL provider for novice

Hi

A friend is getting a first PC today. I will be setting it up for her, and
she will want to go on BB shortly. Which do you recommend, so that I do not
get called to go around and sort out problems. I have warned her off AOL.
I am happy with the reliability of Wanadoo. Will check to see if NTL is in
the area.

Thanks in advance

Of the cheaper ones freenetname isn't bad, £9.99 for the first three months
the £17.99 per month. Like Wanadoo and Tiscali support is based in India.

So why go for a different ISP? Wanadoo have been 100% reliable for me but
aren't really suitable for the likes of P2P.

try NTL first, then wanadoo
BT's own adsl is not value for money
avoid AOL like the plague

in general i'd say any adsl under £20 a month is going to suffer
speed/latancy hit, ok for light users though

get her a router setup, not a USB modem, stupid dialup = more things for new
users to forget
