Welcome!
(I heard that BT HomeHub runs on linux but they do not tell you that....)
An adsl modem router is the best type of interface box. BT adsl in on
one side and ethernet RJ45 cable out from the other straight into your
computers network interface card (NIC).
USB modems are sometimes ok to use but are much less secure and more
trouble or sometimes impossible, to get working.
If the internet was connected during the install, it will be working
automatically after install. (Try it with a live CD ?)
Anyway it is not hard to configure.
