    Do not use an ISP email account. If she’s dedicated to privacy, the select a paid email provider and use that. I quite like FastMail and have been using them for years, for example, but both Google and Microsoft offer paid accounts.

    You do not want ISP email, because if you change your ISP then you lose your email account. This is a terrible idea. Otherwise, I would try your local chamber of commerce. ISPs generally need to work with local governments to authorize them to provide services. Locate the ISPs that are available in that town, then contact each and determine if they meet the requirements.

    Good luck finding a small ISP in a major area.



  • Based on all the comments it seems like you have users who are A) incredibly ill-informed, and B) amazingly confident. This is a terrible combination. Recommend that they take the laptop to a reputable shop and let them deal with it. I would not, for even a moment, put my hands on the machine. I would not use it, even for a moment. That machine is burned as far as I’m concerned, and unfit for use.
