The idiot proof is why I suggested DSL. She clicks a few things on the Alice site. Somebody shows up installs a WI-FI router. She turns on the Mac and hopefully all is well.

If she gets a cell phone based service then she'll be her own tech support. Maybe it'll work fine but if it doesn't? Worse she'll be buying a UK service and trying to get support in Italy.

She wants to use Skype. So either she needs to communicate with people on the Skype service or does lots of LD calls. To me it looks like she'll save money using the fixed line if she can't get a fast enough connection for Skype.
