Necessary no, suggested yes.
Web pages are getting to be a huge bandwidth hog. I have a low end DSL broadband connection and it's almost getting as slow as when I had dial up (at least it sure seems like it sometimes). With all the advertising, Flash icons, etc, broadband has almost gotten to be a requirement.
If your the only one using the internet and you have a clean high end Dial-Up it shouldn't be too bad.
Don't forget, as the computers get faster the downloads get larger so using a dial-up to download a 1 gig file for example, could take a day or two. Most company's now are also going to "download only" for their software so the only way sometimes to get their software is to download very large files sometimes.
Also if your thinking of going to NetFlicks or one of the other movie streaming services then you will need an Broadband connection.
DSL Broadband is through the phone company and Cable is through the cable company's. Basically the more people you have in your house that will use the internet and if you are going to stream music/movies the faster the broadband you should get.
