Whats a NIC?

Stands for "Network Interface Card." Pronounced "nick," this is the card that physically makes the connection between the computer and the network cable. These cards typically use an Ethernet connection and are available in 10, 100, and 1000 Base-T configurations. A 100-Base-T card can transfer data at 100 Mbps. The cards come in ISA and PCI versions and are made by companies like 3Com and LinkSys. So if you want to connect your computer to a network, you better get yourself a NIC.

According to my Device Manger I have a "VIA PCI 10/100Mb Fast Ethernet Adapter." That will do right?

As long as it's compatible with the modem then yes (in most cases it is).

I always thought that SBC Yahoo gave a dial up account included in the price.

1.5 isn't bad, and for 20 bucks it's a sweet deal...but if i were you i'd start looking for 10mbps+. we used to have telus adsl b4 but due to area cachement shaw cable offered us 10mbps w/ unlimited download but only 20gb upload (bastards). we accepted (well my dad did w/e). 10 mbps is pretty slow i must say (and yes it is dedicated, i dont share w/ anyone in my neighbourhood). we pay about 40 canadian for that, and since 20 american is like 30ish CAD, i'd start looking for 10mbps just my thought.

edit:

example for 10mbps on say BT(shadow's exp) from a site like elitetorrents:

avg download speed: 250kb/s
avg upload speed: 60kb/s

example for 10mbps on say FTP:

avg download speed: 1.2mbps+
avg upload speed: N/A

fastest i've seen my speed go is on good old crappy Steam, i've seen it go as high as 2.5 mbps (that's 2.5 mb download a second)

Bullshit....

To 10 mbps you'll pay out the ass with no definite speed increases. There's no need to even waste time looking for 10 mbps internet.

Furthermore, it's super hard to find.

Azad is just gloating or flat out lying since 4 mbps is over $20 anyway.
