Good Phone/Wireless Package for Technophobes
Options

Hi, I am hoping for some advice with choosing a broadband/phone package.
My OH and I are moving to rented accomodation in a couple of weeks, and will be arriving with 2 laptops and probably a PC.
We would like to use the laptops wirelessley, and probably the PC too, as there is no connection point in the room we intend to keep it in.
We would also like a package that provides free evening and weekend calls to landlines.
I have looked at a number of options - TalkTalk seeming the best, but after having heard about their bad service, I am slightly put off. Neither of us want to be spending hours trying to connect, and we certainly don't want to spent £25 on calling their 'Geek Squad' for advice.
Is there a reliable and easy to use provider that has a good track record in comprehensive and easy installation? I remember a few years ago setting up a wireless router with Telewest, and it couldn't have been easier with the instructions they provided - if there is similar out there, I would love to hear who it is...
n.b. We would like to spend less than £20 per month.
Thanks,
DTP
