Best dongle for my dad?

My dad is keen to get online. I'm sourcing a laptop for him and thought that a dongle for internet access would be easiest. One of my friends has the 3 dongle, and has rarely had problems but can any of you recommend one that would easy to use for my dad?
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks,
Mongy

    They're all easy to use. Plug them into a USB port, follow the onscreen instructions first time round, then subsequent times plug it back in and click Connect.

    However the performance of these things are all subject to availability of a mobile phone signal. There are still pockets of (mostly) rural areas where mobile signal access is patchy to non existent.
