Dear, If she lives in the cover area of Voo, their offer
http://www.voo.be/index.php?action=gen_page&idx=54&cat=54 could be interresting. The advantage, is the connexion is done by a simple netword card, no specific drivers needed, no connexion setup (you put it in the outlet, and it's working). But they don't cover the whole Belgium...
