If your ISP uses MS-CHAP v.1 then Windows Vista does not support it.  Contact your ISP to see if they can fix it so you can use MS-CHAP v.2.

Does the error message you get when you try to connect say something about security protocols?

If Tesco wants to keep her as a customer, they should provide tech support for her for free over the phone.  If they cannot help her, there are usually plenty of other broadband providers in the sea.  For example, i have four in my area (2 cable, one DSL and one satellite).
