In your position I would consider using Tiscali on an Anytime contract, which IIRC is £15/month, and then one of the pay as you go isps for a fall-back account, just for those very rare occasions when something goes wrong. Anytime is just that no other cost for time or phone calls, but they tend to cut you off after about 2 hours, so long downloads are very difficult. As far as setting up goes, you can sign up from any browser you have, on any os, just from their website. When you've signed up and got your account initiated they send you a welcome letter and another with all the details you need to set up access from any browser. It is absolutely complete.
