If he doesn't have a landline but have phone wall plugs, he can ask for an ISP to build him his line. It might get him 2-3 months to get the internet. After that, he'll be having the maximum speed available in his area (this can go from dial-up to 100 Mbps) and, most of the time, this costs 29,99รข‚¬/month for an unlimited usage. With that, he has the modem that is free to rent and he can call any landline in many destinations for free. Depending on his location, he can have ADSL TV. (All for 29,99/month, no extra charge) Here is the website of one of the main ISPs : http://www.free.fr/adsl/index.html If you prefer to have a little 3G stick for your computer, you should contact a mobile carrier.

Answer 1 :
If you're looking for someone to help your mother out, the last thing I'd do is to call someone a "geek". You should learn to be more polite when asking for assistance.
Answer 2 :
If she's never been on the internet before, there are many dangers to which she'll need to be educated. If you get a low cost Mac for her, like a Mac Mini, it will help spare her from most of the viruses out there and spyware as well. http://www.apple.com/fr/ Post note: Carelia, us geeks take pride in that name. ;)
Answer 3 :
You seem to know how to do most of it. Why don't you teach your mom?
Answer 4 :
Hi if she is on the West side of South France, you should post the message here : http://the-languedoc-page.com/forum It is a local forum read by expats. Peter
