I am not an expert

the prefix "tele" means both "at a distance" and "by telephone". I have checked different sites on Internet and I found, for example, "teleassistenza per anziani" (a telephone service). In your case, with the reference to Internet I would read it as online help.

Telephone assistance, Remote assistance, On-line help

I would prefer assistance instead of help. But more generally it could be "remote assistance"

Also, please check these urls. They refer to teleassistenza as "telephone assistance"

But since your text refers to the Internet it could also be translated as "online help", "online assistance" or "remote assistance"
